Question about High Blood Pressure

Brandi Marie

I actually had never heard of the term  "hypertensive crisis"  before now. I definitely think you asked a good question because people in general need to know this information. 

It looks like a hypertensive crisis is when your blood pressure is 180/120 or greater and it can damage your organs so it's considered an emergency you should seek help for.

Symptoms of a hypertensive crisis may include:

Anxiety.
Blurred vision.
Chest pain.
Confusion.
Nausea and vomiting.
Not responding to stimulation, called unresponsiveness.
Seizures.
Severe headache.
Shortness of breath.

I included the link for Mayo Clinic where I found the symptom list in case anyone wants to read it
