Question : My husband has an extreme headache. I have taken his blood pressure with our OTC blood pressure machines. I have used them both to make sure I was getting an accurate reading. At 11:00 a.m. it was 160/98 pulse 64 and 156/99 pulse 63. At 4:15 p.m. it was 139/94 pulse 81 and 135/87 pulse 78. At 6:15 p.m. it was 154/95 pulse 61 and 163/92 pulse 61. He threw up about twenty minutes ago. How concerned should I be?
