I just got out of the hospital for the same thing, was in for 2 days, starting Christmas afternoon, but worth every horrible moment.
I walked away after a bunch of tests with a diagnosis that is happily one I can resolve fast and easy, a little excercise and so on.
My BP when I arrived was in the 190/100 range or so.
Do not risk trying to "tough this out". If something really happens, like a heart attack, you will be unable to drive yourself to the hospital, probably unable to reach the telephone.
Go right away. It probably is nothing at all, but you need to be sure.
Turns out I have a heart in better shape than guys 15 years younger, but now I know and can work on a few other health issues.
I can't imagine sitting there wondering through even one night, and you shouldn't either. The sheer psychological aspect of a possible heart issue can elevate your blood pressure and make you nauseous and so on.
Go get it taken care of.
Would you rather risk it at home or in a hospital surrounded by trained medical people?
Trust me. I got back from the hospital 4 hours ago.
