Any blood pressure that remains higher that what you normally run for an extended period of time is not good. I have been taught that a Systolic blood pressure (the top number) between 100-130 mm Hg and a Diastolic blood pressure (the bottom) between 60-80mm Hg are fine. If you are running above those numbers on a daily basis, talk to your doctor. An acute (sudden) onset of higher than normal blood pressure that is accompanied by severe a severe headache, blurred vision, nausea, or any thing that just doesn't "feel" right, should be checked.

High blood pressure, when not treated or controlled, is always dangerous. HPB causes damage to every organ in your body, often without symptoms. That's why it's called the silent killer. Can't really put a number on what's dangerous because eventually, all uncontrolled high blood pressures are dangerous.

* High Blood Pressure:
Systolic (top number) * Diastolic (bottom
Stage 1 = 140–159 * 90–99
Stage 2 = 160 or higher * 100 or higher
