What Are The Treatment And Side Effects Of High BP?
My fiance has a resting blood pressure of 236/120. He has taken 20mg of lisinopril (about half an hour ago). I want him to go to the emergency room for treatment. He says his blood pressure will come down if he just relaxes. How much danger is he in? Should I push for emergency room treatment?
