Blood Pressure Over 100 Shoul I Go To The Hospital Is 160 Over 100 A Dangerously High Blood Pressure?

Is 160 over 100 a dangerously high blood pressure? - blood pressure over 100 shoul i go to the hospital

I am a doctor (not my regular doctor) feel very stressful work yesterday and I found my BP was much higher than normal a - 160 of 100th I know it is too high, but it is dangerous? My plan is to have one weeks work and then back to my GP at the end of the week to see it then. Should I go to the doctor tomorrow or I'm sure one weeks wait to see if it improves? I am 47 years old.

Blood pressure varies from person to person. that could be dangerous for May would be acceptable to another. you better go to your doctor and discuss with him / her. Sleep is not something that anyone can advice, because we do not know your medical history, symptoms accompanying hypertension or a history of the health of your family. Stress, pain and many other things can cause blood pressure to rise, but always better than cure. Good luck.

It is far too high and when in the danger zone. Call your doctor and let him know. It is advisable to see you soon, at least treated with a low dose pill with water. You will not be higher than that!

Yes, it is considered extremely dangerous. Anything above 140/90 usually requires medication.
