Emergency symptoms of Hypertension
Very high blood pressure - upper BP more than 180mmHg &/or lower BP more than 110mmHg
Severe headache
Confused state / altered mental status
Breathing difficulty
Chest tightness/heaviness
Bleeding from nose (epistaxis)
Nausea / vomiting
Blurring of vision
If you have any of these symptoms along with high blood pressure then consider it as an emergency and you should contact your doctor immediately. If timely treated it has very good outcome, but if there is delay in treatment it may cause further complications and worsening of other organs like heart, kidneys, eyes, brain etc
So now you know what are emergency symptoms of hypertension, I expect you not to ignore these symptoms in you or in your loved ones and take timely advice
