It depends on how long it takes to see your doctor. If your blood pressure is at that level you should be on some sort of medication, if I am not mistaken, are you still taking it. If it takes more than a day or two to get into seeing your doctor than you should be fine, otherwise I would go to a urgent care or hospital. The pain in your jaw is probably unrelated to your blood pressure, but there is no way anyone can say that for sure. It is better safe than sorry eh?

NEITHER!
CALL the doctor's OFFICE and leave a message saying what you said here.
They will pass the message to the doctor, who will tell them what to do.
CALL a dentist. Most MDs are woefully ignorant of the teeth, jaw, and all related conditions.
(Did you know that the bacteria associated with plaque in the mouth are the same bacteria that can migrate and harm the heart? Did you know that the bacteria in the mouth associated with gingivitis and periodontal disease can migrate into the synovial fluid of all the joints that have that fluid?

I would call my doctor first, and see when I could see him, and tell him what you have told us. Go from there depending on what he tells you. When was your last doctor visit? How long have you had the jaw pain?
