?: The BP isn't all that high, but the bigger issue is headache and confusion. Yes, those should be checked at the hospital ER ASAP.

Yes Absolutely: With such an elevated blood pressure along with symptoms such as headache and confusion that may be related to effects on the brain, it could be what is called a Hypertensive Emergency and you should go to your nearest ER or even call EMS right away.
