I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?
