My bloodpressure, has averaged 155/80, this past week. I have never been on medicine for this. Should I go to emergency room soon or wait until Monday to see my family doctor?

155/80 is a little elevated, but not an emergent number. If it were myself, I would wait to see your regular doctor as he will discuss the issues with you and possibly give you medication.....the ER probably wouldn't do anything for a blood pressure with those readings. If you are worried, by all means go, but I'd wait.

You've mentioned you are dealing with both medical and boyfriend issues previously.

If you aren't being seen by a doctor on a regular basis, this would be a good time to have someone evaluate whether this is physical or stress related---or both.
