A blood pressure reading of 180/120 mmHg or higher with additional symptoms such as chest or back pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, or difficulty speaking signals a hypertensive crisis that requires immediate emergency treatment at a hospital. If there are no additional symptoms, healthcare providers may take measures to control blood pressure without hospitalization. It is important to seek medical care immediately if blood pressure spikes suddenly without a history of hypertension or if symptoms of a hypertensive crisis occur. Treating excessively high blood pressure is time-sensitive to prevent complications such as stroke. Uncontrolled high blood pressure over time can lead to chronic and acute health problems. People with specific medical conditions may be at a higher risk and should seek immediate treatment if their blood pressure is higher than normal. Ongoing management and follow-up are crucial to prevent future episodes and complications.
