What Causes Fluctuating BP Readings Through Out The Day?
My wife is 59 and weighs 297 lbs. Her blood pressure has always been in the normal range, but she only has it taken once a year at her physical. She let me take her blood pressure today, and it was 208/116.. Later in the day, it was 199/104 and 204/99. I made her make an appointment with her doctor, but when is blood pressure so high that you need to go to the emergency room?

hi,
thanks for posting your query.
given your wife age and presentation, you should immediately approach emergency department to lower BP. Physicians will provide with emergency pills to lower the BP.
in addition, she needs to run some tests esp of kidney function and eye to rule out any abnormality.
wish her good n sound health
best regards
