Hi Tom,
>My blood pressure is 148/100.....
OK, mild hypertension. It might be significant if your normal BP is much lower than that. What's your normal BP?
>my heart rate is about 100 bpm.......
.....and mild tachycardia. What's your normal resting heart rate? My heart rate's been 100bpm for the last three years lol.
>I also have a temporal headache.
Wellbutrin often causes headache, it's probably not got anything to do with the hypertension.
>Would the lorazempam possibly lower the heart rate and blood pressure?
You sound anxious, I'd probably take a dose of lorazepam if I were you. It might lower your BP a bit.
>Or should I go to the ER?
Only if severe symptoms are present eg. chest pain, severe headache.
If I were you I'd make an appointment to see my doctor as soon as possible. In the mean time, stop the Wellbutrin or reduce the dose.
