High Blood Pressure

[Just Worried]

My husband has had high blood pressure for a while and I am having problems with him when it comes to taking his medicine. Today his blood pressure was 172/115 and I'm not a doctor and I know that blood pressure this high has got to be affecting him. If anyone could help me understand this situation anymore I would appreciate it.

If he won't take the meds on a regular basis they won't help him. If he is taking them regularly and his bp is still that high, it's time for a visit to either his doc or the ER if it's after hours.
