What Does A BP Reading Of 140/110 Indicate?
My wife told me she had a rush of what she felt like was water from the back of her head to the front and she became dizzy. This was while she was driving. I took her blood pressure and it was 140/110. Her pulse was 90. respirations normal. Any idea what I should do? She says she feels fine

Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
BP reading of 140/110 indicate high blood pressure. however just one reading of high blood pressure as 140/110 is not much significant. This may be result of anxiety,excitement or other things.
A constant reading of BP 140/110 is not good & will require consultation, low salt diet & BP lowering medicines.
So you should first get yours wife Blood pressure checked by a professional & if it again is on higher side visit a doctor.
Don't worry she would be fine
Hope this information helps.
