Is it possible to have a 220 bottom blood pressure reading and not have serious complcations?

Pancho asked:
My sister’s boyfriend was feeling sick the other night and he went to the emergency room and he said that when the nurse took his blood pressure it read 280/220. Is this humanly possible to have a bottom blood pressure that high and live to tell about it? He was admitted and treated but released the next day. I think he must’ve been mistaken about his bottom BP reading. Wouldn’t a bottom pressure that high all but kill you?
