I guess 911 is my doctor

This afternoon when I got back home, I tookmy blood pressure. It was high. So I googled what to do if my blood pressure is 170/110 what should I do?

This was the answer it gave:

A blood pressure of 170/110 is very high (Stage 2 Hypertension) and needs prompt medical attention; you should call your doctor or seek urgent care, especially if you have symptoms like severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes, as this could be a hypertensive emergency requiring immediate treatment. If you feel fine, still call your doctor for an urgent appointment or go to the ER, as your provider might need to adjust medication quickly. 


I should CALL MY DOCTOR,... but wait,... I don't have a doctor!!

I have done the walk-in,...

I have done 911 (far too many times),...

What am I expected to do? 

I guess 911 is my new family doctor because thats all I have.

But the problem is,... next time I call it could be too late

I may have already stroked out,...
