This would be considered a "Hypertensive Emergency" . Your relative needs to get to an emergency room for immediate intervention. Aside from the obvious "stroke" and "heart attack" worries, a BP this high can also result in serious kidney impairment. There are also certain adrenal/pituitary tumors that can release intrinsic factors that will drastically elevate your blood pressure. Your relative needs to have a complete work-up to identify the source of the high blood pressure, but meanwhile they need to have it lowered and maintained to prevent further damage to body organs.

Your relative has extreme hypertension. He/she needs o begin hypertension medication emediatly. That rate makes your reletive at high risk of health problems like diabetes and heart attack. The bp medication should significantly lower his or her bp.

That is called a hypertensive emergency. They are in danger of a stroke! As well as a heart attack if that is a correct reading. They shouldn't even drive themselves to the hospital. Drive them in now, or call an ambulance. If that is a true reading then they are in big trouble..

250/150 is extremely high, and is extremely dangerous. Your friend is at great risk of serious consequences like stroke, heart attack and others. Get her to a doctor IMMEDIATELY to get on medication to lower her blood pressure. Blood pressure this high is likely accompanied by other serious health conditions. DO NOT DELAY.

That is very high blood pressure. It could be several causes, but heart problems are probable. Is your relative seeing a doctor? They need to go now!

WHOA!!!... I'd be more concerned about my brain and a stroke. That's well beyond stroke territory. Go to an ER quickly... right now!
'nuff said?
