On Which Blood Pressure Level Some One Can Face A Stroke?

My blood pressure is 186 over 118 and I have a terrible headache and a severe pain in my left back shoulder blade. I contacted my Doctor on Friday and today is Sunday and he advised to double up on bp meds. It s still the same reading. What is stroke level for blood pressure?

Hi
I am sorry for the symptoms you're suffering
Blood pressure can be a risk of causing hemorrhagic stroke over the values of 210mmhg.
It can be a risk factor of causing ischemic stroke if it stays between 150-190 for a long time
So after some days when your blood pressure will became normal you have to take baby aspirin each day
You can use sublingual calcium blockers for dominating the blood pressure
I think your blood pressure will became normal now that you have risked medications doses
Hope my answer helps you
Stay healthy
Regards
I find this answer helpful
