Sir.. My father has high BP problem and it has reached 160/90. The doctor said that the heart is functioning normally. Even the ECG and TMT results were normal. But the BP is not going back to normal. Is this too dangerous? At what BP can one have a heart attack? Could you suggest some possible reasons?
