does high blood pressure matter?

Answer 1

Yes, high blood pressure can lead to circulation problems, strokes, eye problems.

Answer 2

Not if you don't mind dying of a heart attack or stroke.

As has already been stated, there are other things that can go wrong if you don't get your blood pressure under control.

See your GP.

Edit:

Who has told you that you have high blood pressure anyway? If it was your GP, surely s/he would have prescribed medication, if they felt it was warranted. If it's a friend, or yourself, you must bear in mind that there are situations where your blood pressure would naturally go higher. If it was a one-off reading, I'd still advise seeing your GP. If you regularly have high blood pressure readings, your GP can arrange for continuous monitoring, whereby you wear a monitor for a day or two.

high b/p can be dangerous - lead to heart attacks, strokes,etc: as well as having low blood pressure.
Depending also on how old you are. check with a nurse or doctor to see what your b/p is meant to be - at certain ages and fitness etc: it may not be high.

To help regulate make sure your diet is good. that is less red meats more fish and veggies and fresh fruit also cut out wine and alchol as this increases blood pressure.

Also cut out dairy such as cheese, cream, butter etc:

try these things as well as exercise and i can garuntee your b/p will go down
