<s>[INST] I'm 34 always been fairly healthy except for the last year or so quite abit of drinking on weekends and i let my weight go. My BMI is like 34. I have some stress and lately have been feeling alot of anxiety too. For the last 2 weeks I have been checking my blood pressure at home at it is consistently around 160/85. Occasionally I have what feels like rapid heartbeat and some pressure in my chest area. Also I have family history of heart problems. Today and hour or two after working out i checked my bp and it was 200/99 and a little later it was 170/90. Six hours later i checked and it was 180/95 after watching a horror movie. Is this an emergency type situation or should i just go see my doctor on Monday? [/INST] hello thanks for posting here. i have gone through your history. your symptoms are due to high blood pressure. you need to be started on BP medications. there is no emergency as of now. but soomer or later you must start on BP medications. also along with medications you should also undergo die, t lifestyle modifications and exercise. thank you </s>
