">Today I had a student I was teaching who had a BP of 188/124. What would you have done in this situation? She says she recently saw the doctor and had a normal B.P., but is having problems with anxiety and has been prescribed med for anxiety, which she hasn't started yet and doesn't have with her. Also that she's being treated now for UTI. She said she had no symptoms with her B.P. except for feeling anxious and flushed. I was alarmed, and suggested she go home and either go to urgent care or call her doctor, but she wanted to stay till the end of the day. She didn't want to get her B.P. taken again at all, because it made her more anxious to do that. At the end of the day, I told her if it were me I'd either go some place that could take my B.P. or call my doctor. And I hinted that it could lead to a stroke. Every time I brought up the subject, though, she said I was making the anxiety worse. What approach would you have used, and do you think it's something a phone call to the M.D. or a trip to urgent care could've taken care of?
