Last time I ran out it went up to 212 over 113 at er but all tests ok. Dad had major heart attack around age 54. They called it the widow maker.grandparents also had heart issues.
Hi Mammoth all due respect, its madness to leave a high BP unattended especially in your case in which there is a strong FAMILY HISTORY of CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. You are quite young and i don't want you to suffer from any kind of cardiac ailment. I would strongly recommend you to start your meds back again as well as implement life style changes also which include, Daily brisk morning walks for 45\u00a0mins a day 5 days a week, low salt diet, STOP SMOKING if u do, avoid junk food, fiber rich diet. Your target BP will be less than 140/90mmHgGood Luck
