Are BP Of 139/90, Blurred Vision And Pressure Behind The Neck A Concern?
Question: my bp is 139/90vision is blurred, pressure in back of my neck.
Brief Answer:
Need to go into ER.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your blood pressure is mildly elevated, but I wouldn't expect that to be causing your symptoms.
I am concerned mostly about the blurred vision. I think you should go in to the ER if your vision is truly blurred or double. There they can evaluate you, including a neurological physical exam.
It is possible that the blurred vision is related to your headache, but it can be due to a number of other causes as well. So best to go in to have this checked. While headaches are not uncommon, blurred vision is a symptom that needs to be looked into.
