A member asked:
What can i do if my younger brother has high blood pressure 150/90. how severe is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better than 170: We call that "stage i" hypertension. We'd try diet and exercise, and if that doesn't work, more on to meds - either something called a "thiazide diuretic" or and "ace inhibitor" would likely be the starting drug.
