Is Blood Pressure 151/112 Normal?
I am a 37 year old hispanic female. My height is 5'2, and I have no other health issues. My blood pressure has been at 151/112 for two consecutive days. Should I go to the ER, or make an appointment with my doctor, (who will probably see me in 2 weeks)?

Hi,
BP of >140/90mm Hg is considered high for your age. As your both recording are high, you should see a doctor soon for further evaluation to know the cause of high BP and treatment thereafter. In the meanwhile you can take Tab Amlodipine 5 mg once a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari
