Yes, definitely. A systolic of 160 is too high but not extreme, but a diastolic of 120 is much too high. You should see a doctor very soon. You didn't give your age. Though blood pressure values are supposed to be the same for all ages, in fact blood pressure usually increases in the elderly and must be controlled with medicine.

What should you do if high blood attacks?

If you experience a high blood pressure episode, also known as a hypertensive crisis, it's important to remain calm and measure your blood pressure if possible. If your readings are significantly elevated (generally over 180/120 mmHg) and you have symptoms like chest pain, severe headache, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. If you have a prescribed medication for hypertension, take it as directed. Regularly monitor your blood pressure and consult your healthcare provider for long-term management strategies.


Blood pressure of 100 over 70 for 73 year old male?

Current belief is that blood pressure levels should be the same for adults of all ages. Ideally blood pressure should be no higher than 120 over 80. But, it's not ordinarily considered treatably high until it is above 140 over 90. If 160 over 100 it's serious and action should be taken soon. Above 180 over 110 is considered an emergency condition.
