HELP IMMEADIATLY Medical crisis Advice?

We cannot see a doctor. We have Micardis (blood pressure meds).

Her BP is 192 over 130. She is 54 yo. Overweight. Withdrawing from prescription narcotics. Ocycontin & Hydrocodone ... 4 days now.

Need advice about blood p., "Micardis". How much would be safe ... to keep her alive? She's already taken 3. Last, 2 hours ago. BP is comming down, but only slightly!

Can she take more? Would it be safe? Doctors ... nurses?

    Omg medication doesn't work like that! Micardis isn't an emergency drug. So giving her more is going to hurt her more than help her. Please stop pretending to be a doctor and take her to the ED if her BP doesn't decrease.

    She needs to go to the hospital. If she has any anti-anxiety medications she can take that and it will help. Withdrawal can lead to worse problems if not done properly. If you are not sure you should take her to the hospital then you need to call a nurse line and give you the best advice for free.
