a long time insulin dependent diabetic, i hv never had a bp issue before. For the past 2-3days i was feeling nausea and feverish. I thought it was because of excessive heat. Just 10 min ago i measured my bp (after afew weeks) it turned out to b 93/166.
Plz suggest if i need to c a doc / hav med immediately or i cn wait till morning? Also is their a home remedy tht i can try right now? Thanx

Hi kukkoo, did you mean your bp was 166/93? That would make more sense than what you said. It's quite high and you could ring 111 for advice. That would reassure you. JanR
I m sorry if I gave wrong info. I assumed you are living in England, where we can ring an emergency number. But of course, you may well not be resident here. 😟
Thank you all for your generous tips. I m sorry I didn't give much info about myself as I was obviously not in the right frame of mind. I did see the doctor this morning. He measured it and it was 139/86 in the morning. today evening it was 142/88.
I m 46 and hav had a badly controlled diabetes for quite long before turning to insuln. even now sometimes it goes high but i am able to manage it. from 10.6, a couple of years back, my sugar levels are around and under 7.
You may take Telma 20 or 40 , it helps to protect 'end damage' of organs like 'Retina' , 'Kidney' etc. for diabetics. Check pressure at regular interval
