When should I go to hospital for treatment for high blood pressure?

I've done a reading this evening and the lower of the 3 readings was 170/116 I am awaiting a prescription for my blood pressure but the pharmacy have messed it up.

Hello metalchick. We’re not medical advisers here, just people who’ve got high pressure. Are you able to get the prescription tomorrow? Are you taking your pressures after ten minutes quietly sitting down and breathing gently?

Not what you're looking for?
