what is happening in hypertensive coma?

hypertension is a very common chronic disease in which a patient's blood pressure exceeds 140/90mmhg for three days. patients with high blood pressure will have headaches, dizziness, head swelling, swelling and pain in the front and back of the head, eye pain and even fainting.

if blood pressure is poorly controlled and continues to rise year-round with large fluctuations, it can lead to sudden coma. cerebral hemorrhage, often called a stroke, is a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain that causes bleeding in the brain tissue, leading to coma. cerebral embolism is the blockage of cerebral blood vessels to form an embolism, which can also lead to coma. it is one of the two common causes of coma due to high blood pressure.

if cerebral embolism or cerebral hemorrhage occurs, you need to call 120 to rush the patient to the hospital. emergency ct and mri can be performed to clarify the diagnosis and the cause of coma, reduce the patient's complications, and minimize the patient's life risk.
