In reply to HELP - hypertensive crisis on selegiline??, posted by Tony P on January 24, 2008, at 10:30:50
Well, a lot of what constitutes a hypertensive crisis depends on the patient, their present condition and previous medical history.
But diastolic BPs of over 120 usually contstitute a hypertensive emergency.
Diastolics over 140 represent a crisis.
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't be concerned at BPs lower than that, but that's what the data say.
I would call your doc today and let him/her know what happened.
Clonidine is a good med to have for hypertension.
