I am under a lot of stress and my blood pressure is 189/100 what can I do?

I have a Drs. appointment monday, but I feel so bad right now. I have a terrible headache and I'm having chest pain.

Yes, you have very high blood pressure. An average healthy reading is 120 mmHg / 80 mmHg. You have a very high systolic pressure which is the pressure on your veins when your heart contracts, and this a leading cause of cardiovascular disease.

The thing with heart disease and high blood pressure is that it is controlable and preventable but it all lies in your hands alone. It is a good thing that you are going to see your doctor on Monday and he may prescribe some kind of meds but the bottom line is you need to start exercising or you will only get worse. Try walking regularly and working your way up to light jogging for starters. Go for 10-20 minutes and work your way into longer routines.
