<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My husbands BP has been running in the 14090.s range but tonight it was the highest at 159104. I am concerned. Do we need to seek help now? He is 57 and 210 otherwise in good health. He had back surgery on May 27th and is doing well. Has been walking over 2 miles a day.  <response>: HelloYour husbands blood pressure is elevated, normal is less than 13085. To start with, he should consume no more than 2 grams of sodiumsalt per day. It sounds like he is already physically active, which is great. There are many medications that can be used to bring the blood pressure down to normal range. They should be given under physician supervision. I recommend you seek medical care soon. The effects of elevated blood pressure includes heart attack and stroke, in addition to enlarged heart. Best of luck
