Depending on the severity of your case you will possibly need to be on multiple maintenance drugs for life. Mine was stroke high about 10 yeas ago. Firstly have a cat scan to rule out renal stenosis. This restriction in blood supply to the kidneys will send the BP into the stratosphere.
When queried as to why the BP went so high and why am I now on three drugs the urologist simply stated to not sweat it and that his wife is on four. Sometimes the body just thinks it needs high blood pressure and we're telling it through the drugs that it does not. My wife is now on two meds for BP.
You WILL schedule with your doc TOMORROW. If he does not feel comfy treating an acute case have him recommend a urologist and see him asap. Go to the drug store and get a BP monitoring machine for $70. Don't get the Omron units as they are a POS.
