Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
This is really not something to neglect.
Even if you this it is just stress ..it is still a life threatening condition.
Your b.p is markedly high.and the drug prescribed for your sister is not going to be suitable for you..
There is no 2 similar cases..
You need to see a cardiologist as you will need special drug and dose according to your case.
Stress release techniques are helpful like yoga,stretching,meditation,breathing exercises .but not enough
This is not just stress if you systolic pass 180 and dyastolic pass 120 you must seek a doctor immediately he will tecommend 2 types of drugs together at once
If still think it is just stress take hydroxyzine 10mg 3 times a day
See if blood pressure improves
Good Luck
