My dad recently went through the exact same thing. He was having a check up for his job, and they sent him to the ER because his BP was so high he was in danger of having a stroke. It was even higher when he got to the ER. He hadn't been taking his BP meds and not watching his diet. He's on the meds now and trying to eat heathily, and the doc says his BP is way down. So hopefully it's just a matter of getting the right meds.
