Do not try to rapidly lower a severely elevated reading on your own. Above 180/120 with chest pain, breathing difficulty, weakness, vision change or confusion, call 911. If no symptoms, repeat after a minute and seek urgent clinician advice if still that high. Lifestyle changes and prescribed medicines manage blood pressure over time, not emergency symptoms.
