Is A BP Reading Of 155/105 A Concern?
I am female age 53--have been checking blood pressure all week to report to Dr....it has been 155/105 today-checked at 7:15 am and 6:00 pm. I know this is high, but is it something I need to go get checked at clinic instead of waiting until next week? Not currently on BP meds. Thanks!
