He wants to see me once a month until everything levels out, then it goes to every other month. He doesn't want anything to happen to me. Thanks everyone.

So happy you are going to make it Faylowell. High blood pressure is dangerous if left untreated but only if it's for extended periods . I had to be put on medication as it was way too high . Good luck with your doctor in lowering it to safe levels.
