How unhealthy is blood pressure 182/74?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very: In the long run, blood pressure shouldn't be left at 182/74 for a long time eg weeks to months to years as it will increase one's risk of death, stroke, kidney & heart failure. In the short term, b/c hypertension (high BP) is silent, you (most likely) won't notice a thing. But don't ignore it! Go see your doctor. Bring in your own BP cuff for calibration. In mean time, consider DASH diet

If you take blood pressure medication and your bp is normal at home when relaxed, but when you experience stressful events at work or anywhere else and it gets high to unhealthy levels (150s,160s,170s systolic) do you need to get more bp meds?
I eat very very unhelthy yet every 6 months when I get a check up I never gain weight or have signs of high blood pressure why?
