Is Surgery Necessary For High Blood Pressure Of 150/80?
What is a safe blood pressure level for surgery. I am on pills for the blood pressure and at home my readings are 138 over 80 but today for the pre-op appointment it went up to 150 over 80. The pills are doing there job and this is the second time I am trying to have this surgery so it is important for my health to get it done.

hi, it all depends on which kind of surgery is there. major surgery or minor and on which part. but if urgent then just increase the dose of your antihypertensive drug to control your blood pressure or add another medicine. just go through surgery and then back with your normal dose. consult your anesthtist and control your blood pressure and go through surgery. its not a big deal. dont worry.
