IV medications that would require you to go to the hospital.
Prescription meds depending on how high it gets
Hello,
Due to the nature of your question and the importance of knowing certain key details (current medications, other pre-existing conditions, the cause of the high blood pressure, etc), you should speak directly to your current medical provider for the answer to this question.
If you are experiencing severe high blood pressure (numbers of 160/90 or higher) you need to go to the emergency room. However, if you are not currently on blood pressure medication you need to see your doctor and get treatment. There is nothing over the counter for high blood pressure.
