When do you go to the Hospital for high blood pressure
by StephDale01, Mar 12, 2009 05:17PM
When should a person go to the ER for high blood pressure. I've been having a pounding head ache, face has been flushed, etc for over three days. I used to have to take high blood pressure medicine but I was running, loosing weight and my need for the medication was done. I've recently gained weight and haven't run in about 3 months. My blood pressure is 150 over 95. When do I just wait to go see my regular doctor and when do I go to the ER?

When blood pressure reaches (bottom number) over 100, there is a possibility of having a stroke. If your head is pounding, I am wondering if the blood pressure is actually higher than what you are getting on the reading. When my husband's blood pressure was 157/100, he had to go to bed and rest per nurses orders until he could be seen by the doctor.
