Verve Times - Latest News around the World

A hypertensive crisis refers to a sudden and dangerous spike in blood pressure. The symptoms of a life-threatening episode include severe chest and head pain, shortness of breath and seizures. These can come alongside confusion, blurred vision, and severe anxiety. A sign you may spot in other people is that they become unresponsive.

Other organs that can be damaged by high blood pressure are those that filter it for toxins, such as the kidneys.

The kidneys filter toxins out of the blood, but this requires passing the blood through many small blood vessels that are damaged by high pressure.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and kidney diseases reports that high blood pressure is the leading cause of kidney failure.

A hypertensive episode can vary in intensity depending on an individual’s medical circumstances and the trigger.

Mayo clinic lists potential causes as varied as forgetting to take medication to the sudden rupturing of the aorta, the primary artery leading out of the heart.

They categorise them into urgent and emergency, with urgent cases not posing an immediate risk of death or organ damage.

You should still seek medical attention in both situations.
