I woke up this morning with a slight sensation of tension,

I woke up this morning with a slight sensation of tension, no aches or pains, and tested my blood pressure as I do daily. It was very high so I went to a pharmacist who tested me again and the reading was 177/118. The reason for this may have been the fact that I had not had some of my regular medication for about a week as I was waiting for the result of a blood test before continued prescription was approved. This had been delayed and I had run out of some medication, namely Candesartan 16mg and Bisoprolol 3.75mg. I have Apixaban 5mg which was renewed as usual.
JA: How long have you been using Candesartan? Has it helped at all?
Customer: I have just been to Newton Abbot Hospital for a blood pressure check, referred by a pharmacist as he had taken a reading of 177/118. I am 79.
JA: Got it. Have you used anything besides Candesartan for this?
Customer: I have just been to Newton Abbot Hospital, having been referred by a pharmacist who had taken my blood pressure and found it to be very high, 177/118. I am 79. The reason for this abnormal reading may have been because, while waiting for a blood test before my prescription was renewed, two of my medications, Candesartan 16mg and Bisoprolol 3.75mg had run out about a week ago. I am still taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily. My blood pressure has remained within reasonable limits until this morning. I awoke with a slight sensation of tension but no aches or pains and feel generally well. The pharmacist gave me a week's supply of the Candesartan and Bisoprolol to last until the blood test, which was done on 17 June, has been examined by my GP practice and a new prescription issued. I am due to drive from Torquay to London tomorrow, 20 June to collect a sick friend and take her home to Wales and I am concerned about my fitness to do this although I feel well generally. Could you please advise?
JA: Thank you so much for your time. Finally, is there anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
Customer: I have been treated for atrial flutter since March 2021 at Torbay Hospital and am being monitored annually.
