What Does BP Of 152/79 Indicate?
Question: I wasn't feeling well this evening so I had my blood pressure taken...it is 152 over 79. Is it something urgent enough to act on tonight or am I safe in waiting till morning to call my doctor? I have been border line for years but have had it under control. I also have a history of afib.
Brief Answer:
Blood pressure level is of no major concern

Hi The blood pressure level though elevated is no major concern or emergency. however what exactly is your uneasiness.
is it some sort of pain or breathing difficulty?
How bad are symptoms? i
If there are mild and you are not unusually uncomfortable it could be reasonable to wait till tomorrow. if your symptoms are progressive or intolerable than you should doctor urgently. Again don't have to worry about BP
