What is a dangerously high blood pressure?
When your blood pressure is greater than 120/80, the pressure is damaging your arteries. When your pressure reaches 140/90, see your doctor to ask about help with medication; the pressure is certainly creating damage to the blood vessels and organs throughout your body. This is dangerous although not an “emergency”. Keep in mind, every increment of 20/10 higher than “normal”; your chances of having a heart attack or stroke DOUBLES.
