[|Human|] My husband who is 43 years old has told me for the last 3 days his blood pressure has be in the range of 158/108. He is also complaining that his eyes feel as if they are bulging out like there is alot of pressure behind them. Is this something we should wait to see if it will go away? What could be causing this to happen? He is not over weight and seems to be in good health.
[|AI|]  Hello, I would explain that his symptoms could be related to high blood pressure or glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes).  For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an ophthalmologist for a physical exam in order to exclude possible glaucoma.  If the eye pressure is normal, further tests may be needed, including: - complete blood count-thyroid hormone levels-kidney and liver function tests-blood electrolytes.  Starting antihypertensive therapy may be needed if these high blood pressure values persist.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
