Hi, blood pressure reading at 240/140 is way too high, it requires immediate medical treatment. I'll suggest you go to ER, get BP medication, and then arrange an appointment with a cardiologist.

BP in 240/140 mmHg is very higher above the normal range upper limit(140/90mmHg) and it's dangerous. High Bp may cause brain bleeding. You should go to ER ASAP anld lower the BP, then see a cardiologist or Nephrologist to find out the reason and treatable cause.
