I normally take 40mg of lisinopril daily, as prescribed by my PCP. I have been out of it for about 3 wks and cannot afford to pick up my refill until next week. Since last night, I have been feeling sob, bad headache behind my eyes & on top of head & back of neck, & nausea comes and goes. I just went to ER & where they told my bp reading was 155/101 and P fluctuated from 102 - 120 (they took my bp 4 times). the triage nurse sent me back out to waiting room to wait for an open bed. I left amd came home, thinkimg if it was THAT bad they wouldnt have sent me back to waiting room. Now I am having thoughts. Would u recommend me going back or do u think I could wait to see my PCP on Thurs as long as my symptoms dont worsen?
Hi Thereafter reading the medical details provided by you, I would like to tell you that the reason of your high Blood pressure is that you stopped taking medicines. I would recommend you to go back to ER and get a proper prescription and start taking your medicine as you are already symptomatic and moving around with high Blood Pressure is not advisable. Control your blood pressure first, and later you can see your primary care physician in routine. Wish you Good Health
