Need further information...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Systolic blood pressure of 180mmHg is definitely high. It is important to control it. Is he known to have high blood pressure. If yes, what medications is he on? Did he miss any medications?

I will also like to know why blood pressure was recorded at this point of time? Did he develop sudden stomach ache and back pain? If yes then it could be related. Sudden onset stomach pain and back pain with high BP should be monitored preferrably at a hospital. It could be a gastritis or even a cardiac episode.

You mentioned there was a recent accident. Can you give me the details? What injuries were sustained and the treatment?

I would like to help you if you can give me more specific details.

Awaiting your response...

Regards

Essential hypertension...

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for providing details...

Sudden severe pain is known to increase blood pressure reactively. However it settles down soon. You mentioned blood pressure remained persistently high hence it should be treated with medications.

Since he has visited the hospital may I know the cause of sudden stomach and back pain? Was it due to gastritis / abdominal condition or related to cardiac event? Has the pain subsided now?
And was any medications given for treating high blood pressure? Persistently elevated blood pressure need anti hypertensive drugs.

Do not be worried. If he is symptomatically better and there was no concerning condition, this high blood pressure can be managed.

I am here to guide and provide any other information you need.
