Check your blood pressure
After a few tests the SYS is in the range 120-140+ while pulse is consistently ~115-120. So per this chart it's stage 2 as I understand. But I think I put the device wrong initially (or I do now) since the last few results after correcting have consistently been 120-~127 for SYS. I don't understand the results and am not sure what to do with them. :(
Edit: I'm about to depart in the middle of the night for emergency visit.
Your pulse is 120 resting? That's concerning. See a doctor.
Am at hospital right now waiting.
Good on you for not kicking the can down the road.
Sudden onset is very concerning OP. In the US most pharmacies have a FREE blood pressure check station. If the top number is over 160 and/or the bottom number is over 110 go to an urgent care, if the top number is over 180 go to an ER. If your blood pressure is normal make a primary care appointment or audiologist appointment because sudden onset still highly suggests that it's a secondary symptom that may very well go away when the underlying cause is treated.
TLDR; good news very possibly not actually permanent, bad news, you actually really need to check that you're not sick.
