Unsure: Go through this carefully. Your symptoms are specific for High Blood pressure. But 154/83 does not cause symptoms. I suspect either your B.P reading is wrong or your symptoms are unrelated to B.P. Any how you need to check your B.P again in 2 weeks and depending on numbers treatment plan should be formulated.

Get medical help: Hypertension is a silent killer. You must have a thorough exam by a physician, including blood tests to determine how your kidneys are functioning. If you wait, you put yourself at great risk for strokes, heart attack, irreversible kidney damage, and retinopathy.
