Gabrielle, my Mom has a similar problem...She do take medicines(S Amlodipine + Atorvastatin, Tablet.)…Let me tell you that your blood pressure is very high. You should take medicines after consulting a doc immediately…as the ill-effects for the same are bad! High blood pressure can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic kidney failure.
