How quickly is quick: I stand by recommendations made by my colleagues regarding lowering your blood pressure. However, they may take some time (aside from medications). If high blood pressure is cause of headache, chest pain, difficulty breathing, kidney damage, etc, we will give you medicine to immediately lower blood pressure while monitoring closely in hospital emergency department. But don't drop BP too low either
