Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...  My blood pressure has been high all day, but it has really spiked since I started laying down to go to sleep.   It has gotten up to 193/118, but then once I am up for a while, it drops.   The last reading was 160/100, but now my machine is giving me an error reading.   My wife happens to take HCTZ.   I am wondering if I should go the ER, take one of her pills, wait it out, etc.
Hi Thereafter going through your query I understand your concern. I would like to tell you that Blood pressure more than 180/120 is an emergency condition but looks like your machine is giving fake readings. Check your BP on different machine and if it is actually more than 180/120 then go to ER.Don't take pills until you are sure about high BP as risk of hypotension will there if it is a fake reading. Kind Regards
