High Blood Pressure: your stated blood pressure is Very high. You need to make an appointment immediately to see a primary care physician (ie Internal Medicine, Family a Practice). They will perform a work up to rule out physical causes of high blood pressure (ie coarctation of the aorta, pheocromocytoma). Vs essential hypertension.
