What does it mean if a 41yr old in shape man have a bp of 160 over114 and only goes down to 148/98 been goin on now for at least 2wks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact/inform his d: His doctor needs to know that the BP is not coming down adequately...It should be brought down to less than 130/80. This will need additional medication as most patients with severe hypertension require 2 or 3 different medicines to fully control their bp.
