A blood pressure reading of 160/95 is high and needs proper control to reduce risk to the heart and other organs. It can be due to stress, diet, weight, or underlying health issues, and usually needs medical treatment. Start with a low-salt diet, avoid fried and processed foods, stay active, and manage stress. A doctor may advise medicines to bring it down safely, so consult your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
