A member asked:
Husband has bp of 165/96 on bp medication also on allpurinol for gout is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If untreated it is: If BP long term elevated above 135/85 it is dangerous for long term consequences as congestive heart failure , stroke., heart attack , kidney damage... In old age higher numbers may be permisible but not over 160. See doctor , watch sodium in diet ! Plant based food preferred and exercise . But exam by doc is imperative.
