Hello,
In response to the question, "Is a blood pressure reading of 150/90 dangerous?", I would like to answer as follows:
If accurate, a blood pressure reading of 150/90 mmHg measured at home can diagnose stage 1 hypertension, and immediate treatment is necessary if there are symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision, or chest pain. To assess your blood pressure accurately, you need a thorough cardiovascular examination and receive timely treatment.
If you have further questions about your blood pressure reading, you can visit a hospital within the Vinmec Healthcare System for additional check-ups and advice. Thank you for trusting us and sending your inquiry to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Best regards!
