My mum had a blood pressure score of 199/120 and is now getting really bad migraine headaches, what should she do?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Meds: Your mum has an urgent elevation of her BP that needs to be addressed right now. Medications will, indubitably, be required - very likely several simultaneously.

See her doc!: This is way to high! She should see her doc ASAP. She will benefit from a blood pressure device at home. No reason to wait. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. Just make her do it. NO WAITING. PLEASE. You may even have to send her to the ER. Good luck

Must see doctor ASAP: BP reads in the 199/120 range are dangerous and considered a medical emergency, as there is risk of head bleed or stroke and brain encephalopathy, among other issues. Her BP must be controlled by her doctors ASAP
