[|Human|] hello. my husband suffers high blood pressure, an insurance company dont want to life cover him as his reading was 196/100 (his meds were finished and he had to get more).  I now feel like hes a walking heart attack and am worried sick.  I dont know what his reading is whilst on meds, but know that the reading is much lower.  Hes 43, smokes about 10 cigarrettes a day and drinks socially.  Am I being paranoid that hes going to suffer some sort of major heart attack soon or is he okay as long as he takes his meds?
[|AI|]  Hello, I had gone through your question and understand your worry.-The normal range for high blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. At 196/100 mmHg it is quite high but reversible. -In my clinical practice, I first advise patients with high blood pressure to stop smoking and do a generally modify their lifestyle. Partaking in regular exercise like walking and eating healthy. -Always remember to buy necessary medications before they get finished and take medications as prescribed. - Continuously increased blood pressure till 196/100 is a risk for a major cardiovascular event.  Please ensure that he adapts to the changes, and hopefully he will be fine. Warm regards
