A member asked:
My brother had blood pressure 188/127 but he had no pain in any where so is that normal or its an emergency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: Would classify as an urgency & he needs this evaluated. Please have him evaluated by a physician. There is a reason they call HTN the "silent killer".
