A member asked:
My blood pressure is 180/115 is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds high, but...: Numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless one knows the whole story behind the person with the numbers. Details matter. One's primary care doctor can evaluate. Details include how the blood pressure measurement was done, and under what circumstances. How many times was the measurement repeated, and over how many days? What are some past measurements, what kind of equipment, etc...?
