question: Hello, Ive had hypertension for about 15 years, but usually under control with the meds Im taking. However, Ive had a moderate to severe headache for weeks, frequent dizziness, low urine volumes, fatigue and poor sleep. I dont normally keep track of my BP, idiotic as that may sound. But I saw my doctor last Thursday for these symptoms and my BP was 197/119, pulse 52. He added 5mg of amlodipine to my meds and said to monitor BP for a week. Im doing so every couple hours, but it is staying between 150-186 systolic and 94-110 diastolic, pulse 48-56. Should I consider going to the ER?
