I there, my mother just came back from the doctors office with a blood pressure reading of 280 over 130, he told her to go home and take her medicine because she has not taken it in 4 days, do you think I should take her to the ER for them to get it under control
Hi, Usually, high blood pressure patients start tolerating high BP. If your mother is not having any major symptom besides high BP, let her take her medication and physical rest. She must avoid all physical and mental exertions for the next 3 or 4 days. Even morning walk should be avoided for the next 3 or 4 days. Ask her to avoid tea, coffee and alcohol also. Ask her to relax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
