How high is too high for blood pressure in someone with stroke history?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
HTN: >130/85 for diabetics and pts. With reno disease. >140/89 for other adults. If pt. Has symptoms and BP is >160/100 is risky but most pts. Tolerate up to 180/110 without symptoms. Check next graphic. Sudden or too much too fast decrease of BP is not convenient.
