question: My blood pressure has increased to 151/104 pulse is 65. I ve taken Azor 5/20 and HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) 12.5 for over a year and blood pressure stayed around 125/82. I developed swelling in my hand and middle finger and the urgent care doctor thought it was Gout and put me on Indomethacin 50mg and told me to stop taking the HCTZ. My lab came back negative for Gout, Uric Acid was 6.9 (normal range), but my blood pressure increased. Should I go to the emergency room?
