<s>[INST] I have taken my blood pressure several times over the past few days at drug store bp machines. The results have been pretty much the same each time - 175/101. I know I should see a doctor, but since it is after 8:00 PM, what should I do in the meantime until I can hopefully get an appointment tomorrow? Am I in danger of something severe? [/INST] Hello, Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure values are really high. This could lead to an increased risk for nose bleeding or intracranial haemorrhage. For this reason, I would recommend taking a tablet of captopril or nifedipine sublingually, if you have any of these drugs at home. Otherwise, I would recommend having some rest and taking a glass of lemon juice or eating some garlic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist </s>
