I began smelling ammonia over a week ago, on that same episode I began to have a headache. i checked my blood pressure during the whole hour I had the headache and found out my blood pressure kept rising. Ever since then, my blood pressure would rise to hypertension stage 2 and fall back down to elevated. When my baseline is elevated blood pressure yet it keeps rising to hypertension stage 2.

I no longer get headaches from eating salty food but I check my blood pressure after I eat salty food and it goes all the way up to hypertension stage 2. Yet when I don't eat salty food, my blood pressure drops to normal levels. I still smell ammonia everyday.

what should I do? Should I go to the emergency room about this
