170/120 is way too high over way too high.  That is the zone where bad things, cardiovascular & cerebrovascular, can happen happen.  YA is notorious for bogus answers & misinformation, so as an RN, I am telling you that you need to consult with your physician & tell him or her that even with the Lopressor, you are having these spikes.

No.  You seem fine to me.  I’m not a doctor so i’m going to tell you off the record that blood pressure spikes are nothing to worry about at your age.  Strokes normally happen to people (nearing or in) 50+.  Even at the hospital if i get a BP i don’t like i take it up to three times to see if i can get a good one.  Calm down

If that 170-120 is alaways then the chance is higher getting a stroke but if it’s once in a blue moon then no 
What’s your average BP
