It will depend on the person. For some people ... never, others within a week. If your blood pressure is more than 140 / 110, you should see your doctor about it. Also, see your doctor if your blood pressure is less than 80 / 60. (You may experience dizziness, and constant fatigue in that case). In any event, with a blood pressure that high, you are constantly damaging the vital blood vessels inside of you.

Stroke is one thing to consider but actually hemorrhagic strokes from very high blood pressure are relatively rare - all hemorrhagic strokes account for only 10 to 20% of all strokes - malignant hypertension is only a small percentage of those.
That said, there are all kinds of other medical problems that you are at higher risk for with poorly controlled blood pressure - especially over a long period of time.
Congestive heart failure, kidney failure, peripheral vascular disease, macular degeneration (eye disease), and coronary artery disease (heart attacks) are among them - in addition to the higher incidence of stroke - thromboembolic (clot breaks off and plugs up an artery) as well as hemorrhagic.
Does anyone know for certain how long a particular individual can go with untreated blood pressure before any of these things will show up? No. There are way too many variables; most of which can not be quantified. Therefore we are stuck with studies that demonstrate disease over a large group of people.
Suffice it to say that having that pressure for a day is not long enough to cause secondary disease processes mentioned above. On the other hand, twenty years of very poorly controlled blood pressure will cause some sort of complication in nearly everyone - most of which are not reversible.
If you control your blood pressure, all of those secondary disease incidences become equal to a person who does not have high blood pressure. Good luck.

I'm not sure about how long before you have a stroke, but you need to do something. I have found that mangosteen juice drastically makes a difference. Do your research and check out the site below to find out how it is helping many people reduce their levels to normal, all naturally.

Also, if you are getting a reading of 179, you are using an automatic cuff. Have a professional check it manually to be sure it is an accurate reading.

You could have a stroke at anytime with it being that high. IF this is your BP, you need to be on medication!
