Dear Anon,

Thank you for your post.

A reading this high with a headache should be reported to your doctor right away. This can be serious. Your medication may need adjusting or an additional BP medication may be needed.

Below is a link with tips for lowering BP quickly. This does not take the place seeing your doctor about the symptoms you are having.
