A 55-year-old man is brought to the emergency department following onset of sudden severe headache followed by a brief episode of “blacking out” which was witnessed by his wife. He is currently alert and complaining of a diffuse headache and neck pain which he ranks as 7/10 accompanied by some nausea and an episode of vomiting. He has a blood pressure of 170/100 and a HR of 95. On ECG there is evidence of deep wide precordial invert T waves and prolonged QT intervals. What is the best next step at this time?
