I'm really worried right now about my health. I've been checking my blood pressure every day for the past two weeks, and it's been around 190110 consistently. I'm already taking Telmisartan 40mg, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. On top of that, my creatinine level is 1.8, my potassium is high, urine protein is at 2484, and my albumin is 3.3. My vitamin B12 is really low at 82. Can you help me understand what all these numbers mean and what I should do next?
