How high do my blood pressure reading have to be before I can go to the hospital to be seen?

High blood pressure doesn't require a hospital visit... you can go to any physician or clinic. I've had it for years and never been to the hospital once. It's easily treated with prescription medications... some of which are very inexpensive.

You do not go to the hospital you go to your family doctor to be treated for it.

I have to ask why you think you should go to a hospital for normal routine medical care ?

If you feel as though you are experiencing effects associated with high blood pressure the seek medical attention immediately.
