A member asked:
My mother is 65 experiencing sharp pain in her head het blood pressure is 169/65 is this an emergency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stage 2 Hypertension: 169/65 is Stage 2 Hypertension. This indicates that her heart is working too hard to pump blood to the body. It also means she is at higher risk for life threatening problems such as heart attack and stroke. She should talk to her doctor right away to seek advice. Your doctor may ask you to take an additional dose of blood pressure medicine, or may want to see her in person, or may suggest ER.
