A member asked:
Is 181/100 blood presure bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That is definitely not good especially if it's in that range consistently. Normal blood pressure is a max of 130/85. In your case, the systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number) are both high which makes it potentially doubly serious. You should have it rechecked by your doctor right away and started on medication if warranted.
