A blood pressure reading of 163/98 mmHg indicates Stage 2 hypertension, which requires urgent medical attention but is not an immediate emergency unless accompanied by severe symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, severe sudden headache, vision changes, or confusion; emergency care is only necessary when blood pressure reaches 180/120 mmHg or higher, or when the elevated reading is accompanied by these specific warning signs.

You must seek immediate emergency care if your blood pressure is 180 over 120 or higher. Or if your 163/98 reading is accompanied by any of the following symptoms.
Chest pain, pressure, or shortness of breath.
Severe sudden headache that is different from normal. Bluriness, confusion.
