Brief Answer:
Hello. This is dangerously high blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Yes, a blood pressure this high can make one feel flushed and warm. You need to get treated with a high blood pressure medication as soon as possible. We like to see the blood pressure in the 120's/70's range if at all possible. While kidney disease and obesity can lead to hypertension, for the most part, we don't know what causes high blood pressure.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
