You don't mention what your current blood pressure is, so it's difficult to advise you. Stress hormones can raise your BP significantly. Don't put off your appointment if your BP is much over 160/90. Reduce salt, caffeine&alcohol intake, get good sleep and try to minimize stress. Record your BP morning, afternoon and evening for your MD.
