I am a 28 year old who has been detoxing from alcohol. i am monitoring my blood pressure. is 142/102 okay for now? at what point should i go to the er

Detox: Hard to say. Definitely the DBP at 102 is pushing the limit. If you are experiencing chest pain, dizziness, headache, problems breathing, changes in vision or any other signs of neurologic problems then I would go to the ER and get evaluated. Even an urgent care center would work.
