A member asked:
Is a blood pressure of 150/92 high enough to cause a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MAYBE: This depends on the circumstances/age/general health or frailty of the patient.I doubt it would do so in a 19 yo but it deserves an evaluation, lifestyle/diet modification and likely treatment if it does not respond to lifestyle changes.
