Hi, These much high BP readings are very dangerous for you, especially ranges over 180\u00a0mm Hg. Rise in systolic BP is considered more dangerous than rise in diastolic BP and can cause rupture of blood vessels in brain and other places causing stroke. So meet your doctor soon and get your BP medicines adjusted. Decrease salt intake and do regular exercise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thanks, Chat Doctor.
