Hi,
Your question was miss typed, so I am going to answer based on what was legible. First of all, yes, blood pressure of 220 over 160 is cause for concern and is way above the mark. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible in order to diagnose the high blood pressure correctly, identify the cause and get on the right medication. An untreated high blood pressure can do a lot of damage to your body.
Besides medication, in high blood pressure, diet and lifestyle are very important. Being on a healthy diet with law salt and plenty of fruit and vegetable, as well as exercising can reverse the high blood pressure and keep it in check. Wishing you good health and all the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ornela Ademovi
