Swept,
I just saw my cardio about the same thing yesterday. I am on Cartia in the AM and Atenolol in the PM for high blood pressure and SVTs. Sunday night my blood pressure went up to 160/110 for three hours and I was scared big time. He said that it would have to be like 190/130 and for several days to cause a stroke. I go a a large group practice and he said that in the waiting room there is maybe 10 people in there at any given time and at least three of them live day-to-day with blood pressure that high and medicine doesn't help them anymore. He is more worried about them then those of us who do get the normal readings on medicine.
