Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom's blood pressure is 190 over 75. She is 86 years old and its been that high before - usually when she anxious. She broke her arm a week ago Sunday, but insisted on going back to her own home two days ago. She is on blood pressure medication and just took a shot of her nitro spray - like a minute after she saw that reading - this is the first time its been that high in about 2 years though. Is this an emergency? Do I take her to the hospital?
