peachy,
You need to see the doctor and get a script for a quick acting BP med. If it becomes chronic, you will likely need a maintenance BP med. My wife is using a very small dose of Atenolol (1/4 of a 25 mg tablet) once a day and it makes a big difference.
Hawthorne Tea can help. Niacin is also good.
I have had a few 195/145 events and am quick to grab a propanolol that acts a bit quicker than the atenolol. The risk of stroke and heart attack is real.
I hope you get some good advice so be able to protect yourself.
My best to you.
