ER: With systolic pressure of 210 I recommend that you go to the ER to get checked out. There is risk for stroke at this pressure.

Elderly hypertension: Typical goal blood pressure (BP) is less than 140/90 for most (younger) adults while we try to keep BP less than 150/90 in elderly. In the short-term, we worry more about excessively low BP rather than long-term complications in elderly. Even if no headache or chest pain, 90yo w/extremely high BP needs quick urgent evaluation as can be provided in emergency department. At least see FamilyDoc
