What Is The Dangerous Range Of BP To Take Medication?
I went to the clinic today and the nurse checked my blood pressure. It was 137/95 and my pulse was 126. The last few times I have had my blood pressure checked it has been high. I am overweight and do suffer from frequent headaches. At what point is my blood pressure worrisome?

Hello and welcome to HCM
I have read query your query
I hope this will help
High blood pressure is defined as blood pressure of more than 140/100 mmhg.
You haven't mentioned your age but the BP reading that you have told is perfectly normal for me.you shouldn't worry much at the moment.. I will advise you to have a regular blood pressure check same time each days for 7 days.make a table and consult your GP again for further advise.take tab paracetamol or aspirin for headache.try to reduce your weight and do regular exercise. I hope everything will turn out to be normal.
