I asked the nurse what my BP was and she said it was pretty high but would not tell me the number.  She said she would take it again and then said it was 176/99.  Still would not tell me first number.  Doctor prescribed  Sudafed but hesitated cause of my high BP and said do my BP at home.    Sudafed sent my heart racing (I had a stroke in June) so I stopped taking it.  Wish my nurse and doctor had shared better information.  I should have advocated for myself better concerning my past stroke and high BP.
