Monitor: Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure of 149/99 is moderately elevated. Minimize alcohol consumption. If your blood pressure remains elevated see your physician.

Not needed: Your blood pressure readings do not meet the criteria for hypertensive crisis or urgency. Thus, an ER visit is not needed. Drinking alcohol can increase your blood pressure. You may go to an Urgent care center if you are concerned and they can treat you faster there than the ER
