What Causes High Blood Pressure?

my husbands blood pressure is 206/93 and I am trying to persuade him to meet me at the er. He saw his family dr today and she gave him a bp med but it is still over 200. He is taking suboxone and thinks It may be related to this. Should he go to the er? What should I watch for tonight if he won't go.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

With this blood pressure he should visit the ER he needs his med to be changed and possibly the work up should be done to see the cause of the problem, he should also keep a check on his weight and salt intake, I would suggest you to take him to ER ..this Blood pressure can be dangerous.

I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
