Hi,
After going through your knowledge of blood pressure, and your present stage 2 (systolic more than 160 and diastolic more than 100) hypertension, I am of the opinion that therapy is necessary.
Stage 2 is severe form and needs to be brought under control at the earliest. It can cause complications like stroke, renal damage and increased cardiovascular risk.
You did to meet your doctor at the earliest to start on diuretics or beta blockers.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
