Heart failure: If your BP is 166/92 that is bad for anyone if you have left sided heart failure then you have poor control of your BP and are straining your heart stop caffeine salt and go back to your doctor.

No, but: It might make your diastolic heart failure worse. A BP that high will put a lot of stress on your heart and can make the heart failure symptoms worsen. I'd recommend seeing your doctor to get your BP medications adjusted.
