I have extremely high blood pressure?

How high?: Depending on your pressure you may need to visit a primary doctor to get medications. You can have temporary elevations of blood pressure in times of stress and exercise. But if the blood pressure remains elevated during rest it could cause problems with your kidneys, eyes, etc. Please take your blood pressure and follow up with a primary if it's over 140/90. Good luck.
