Dear patient, frankly there is no maximum value which can be identified. There are lot of factors which are to be considered in case of hypertensive crisis and the underlying condition. The most important aspect is to understand the risk of a stroke due to bleed in the brain. Blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries during the cycle of contraction and relaxation of heart which is measured as systolic and diastolic pressure. The same pressure is maintained in the entire hemodynamic system. In the brain there are very small blood vessels which are susceptible for bleeding incase if this pressure increases. So it is not advisable for blood pressure systolic as well as diastolic to vary beyond a range of +/- 20 mm of hg for a particular age of patient. Please control your blood pressure by medication, salt restriction after proper consultation with a physician.
