A member asked:
At what reading should a person who has high blood pressure go to the er for blood pressure? my stubborn father w stent is 172/101

Office follow up: Unless he has symptoms, such as chest pain or blurred vision for example, would suggest keeping a log of his blood pressures rather than running to ER. Once there is a clear trend towards high blood pressures a follow up visit with his PCP would be appropriate.
