Sometimes they allow for "permissive hypertension" after a stroke. That's usually done at the direction of a neurologist for a specific timeframe and for specific types of strokes. I don't know if this situation would apply.
Interesting, thanks.
I read one thing I thought was interesting, when early BP meds were used they put older folks quickly into what they thought were ideal BP ranges but mortality increased. The explanation was that older organs needed higher pressure to get blood perfusion. As I understand it BP increases with age and they may allow higher BP for older folks?
