A member asked:

My husband has probably been having for several months now problems with high blood pressure. on average, it is normally 150/80-90. some days it will be 143/80. he's started taking 25 mg of bp med about 2 weeks ago. how bad is his bp?

Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Mild: These readings indicate less than ideal control with a goal of 120/80 as a guideline. His hypertension should be easily manageable with the proper dose and/or combination of antihypertensive medication and life style changes, if any are needed.
