My husbands blood pressure has been going from the low 140s over 80 to90 in the morning to 160-170 over 80-90. He is not on blood pressure meds. He has an appointment for a physical in May. Should I make him go to the doctor now. He is not over weight and we eat pretty healthy most of the time. He is 63 years old
Hi, Thanks for your question. If your husband has no complaints like chest discomfort, dizziness, palpitation, sweating, giddiness, tingling, numbness you can wait for till his appointment otherwise he should visit ER immediately. For the age of 63 targeted blood pressure control should be below 150/90. It may be advisable to your husband.1) Salt restricted diet
