I woke up feeling unwell with queasiness and slight chest pressure. My blood pressure was high at 171/81, and I have occasional asthma issues. I am 78 years old, take medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and nerve pain, and had a recent physical about five months ago. Should I contact my primary care physician tomorrow or seek immediate medical attention?
