Wow, I frequent many medical boards for hypertension and have never heard of pressures that high besides my own. My "record" was 240/190 (ICU for 48 hours).
Still I find the best results are from simple diuretics. Unfortunately I have been taken off them as I have chronic acute gout which leaves me a crutches several times a year still!
Yeah, at those pressures I'd pay what ever I had to so I could control it.
Do they have any theories as to why it is so high?
