Hypertension(HBP) is a common side effect affecting 1% to 10% of people using this NSAIDs, very common to common side effects in most people, subside within 7 to 10 days, if not you must inform your DR., but you alreay have been to the ER. I disagree with the diagnose from the Dr. from the ER. Therefore I suggest you inform your DR., Meloxicam is prescription medication only.

"Warnings
Meloxicam can increase your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term or take high doses, or if you have heart disease. Even people without heart disease or risk factors could have a stroke or heart attack while taking this medicine.

Do not use this medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).

Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.

Meloxicam may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using this medicine, especially in older adults.

Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding, such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.

Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as they also increase your risk of stomach bleeding."
