Blood Pressure Emergencies

Countless Americans deal with high blood pressure every day. But, when do the effects of hypertension require a visit to the emergency room?

Extremely high blood pressure can cause severe life-threatening issues including stroke, aneurysms, heart attacks, and heart failure.

Situations that can cause hypertensive emergencies

  • Forgetting to take your blood pressure medication
  • Kidney failure An interaction between medications or supplements that you are taking
  • Complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia or eclampsia
  • Certain endocrine diseases such as thyroid storm or pheochromocytoma
  • Recreational drug use

When your high blood pressure is extremely high it has the potential to damage your organs and blood vessels.

If you deal with high blood pressure and notice any of the following signs or symptoms, a trip to an emergency medical facility is an absolute necessity.

  • Severe chest pain
  • A severe headache, especially when accompanied by confusion or vision changes
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Extreme levels of anxiety
