I thought my little home blood pressure machine malfunctioned when it said my BP was 210/110. I was getting ready for work and since I worked at a hospital I decided to have a nurse recheck my blood pressure at work. I didn't have any symptoms but the nurse took me to the emergency room when she got the same 210/110 reading. I wasn't anxious about anything because that isn't my nature. I think the nurse panicked more than me because I didn't want to go to the emergency room.

When the emergency room checked me in my blood pressure was still 200/100. Nothing was done in the emergency room to decrease my blood pressure. It was strange how it slowly returned to normal about 2 hours later.
