The Invisible Killer of the Heart: The Crisis of Hypertension Emergency

Hypertensive stress, known as the “invisible killer of the heart in seconds”, is no exaggeration. This acute medical condition, which is often volatile, clandestine and deadly, poses a great threat to the health of patients. However, most people do not yet know enough about hypertension, which has led to many preventable tragedies. In order to better understand the dangers of the disease and the ways to deal with it, let us explore in depth all aspects of hypertension. What is hypertension? Why is it so dangerous? Hypertensive stress means a sharp rise in blood pressure to 180/120 mmHg or higher, accompanied by damage to vital organs such as the heart, brain or kidney. This state is different from long-term hypertension, which may take years or even decades to cause significant damage to organs. High blood pressure emergencies are characterized by severe and even irreversible injuries to organs in a short period of time and are therefore extremely lethal. The risk of hypertension is: 1. Sudden: very often it occurs suddenly, and the patient may have no warning. There are no obvious early symptoms, and sudden onset can lead to the patient being caught by surprise. 2. Rapid and severe damage to organs: Hypertensive stress on organs such as the heart, brain, kidney and so on can easily cause functional failure. For example, acute left heart failure, brain haemorrhage and acute kidney failure can occur in the context of hypertension. 3. High mortality rates: The risk of death is high if hypertension is not treated in a timely manner. Even if the patient survives, there may be long-term health problems caused by organ damage. The risk of hypertension lies in its unpredictable and rapidly deteriorating character. Early identification and timely response are therefore essential. What’s the early signal for hypertension? The identification of early signs of hypertension is essential to avoid tragedy. However, because of the complex and diverse manifestations of hypertension and the often similar symptoms of other diseases, it is easy to ignore. Understanding these early signals can help us to identify potential risks at an early stage. Possible early signals include: Such headaches are often difficult to mitigate and differ from common stress headaches. 2. Visual problems: Hypertensive stress can lead to sudden blurred vision and even brief blindness. This visual problem is usually caused by an eye hemorrhage or retina detached, suggesting that high blood pressure causes serious damage to the eye vessels. 3. chest pain or heart attack: If you feel chest pain, heart attack, or even breathing difficulties, this may mean that the heart is under excessive stress. Hypertensive stress can lead to inadequate heart blood supply, which in turn can lead to an aching or myocardial infarction. 4. Fuzzy or mentally abnormal: Hypertensive stress can affect brain blood supply and give rise to symptoms such as blurred consciousness, confusion and incoherence. In serious cases, the patient may have an epilepsy or a coma. Reduction of urine or blood urine: The kidney is one of the most vulnerable organs for hypertension. Sudden reductions in urine, blood in urine or foams may indicate acute kidney failure. How to deal with hypertension in times of crisis? The emergency of hypertension requires us to act quickly. Knowledge of the response not only protects oneself but also helps others to gain time for gold rescue in times of crisis. 1. Seek immediate emergency medical assistance: hypertension is a medical emergency, and any delay may lead to irreparable consequences. It is essential that medical personnel be informed of blood pressure conditions and related symptoms by dialling the emergency call immediately. 2. Stay calm and avoid emotion: in times of emergency, maintaining calm can help stabilize emotions and prevent further increases in blood pressure. Patients should try to stay flat and avoid violent activity. 3. Emergency depressurizers: For patients who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, doctors usually recommend that they be accompanied. If such drugs are available, they should be taken at the right time, on the advice of a doctor. 4. Monitoring symptoms change: In waiting for help, the patient ‘ s symptoms change continuously, recording new symptoms, such as increased respiratory difficulties, confusion, etc., and making it easier for health-care personnel to quickly understand and judge when they arrive. 5. Avoid secondary victimization: in cases where the patient is unconscious or unconscious, do not attempt to force-feed drugs or food to prevent coughing or suffocation. In addition, if possible, patients should be prevented from moving without care and the risk of secondary injury reduced. When a patient is taken to hospital, doctors usually take urgent treatment measures, as appropriate, such as intravenous decompressants, monitoring of organ function, necessary visual examinations, etc., to ensure that blood pressure is steadily declining and to prevent further organ damage. Hypertensive stress is a serious and dangerous medical condition, but it is not preventable. By learning about their early signals, mastering their response and managing their blood pressure in their daily lives, you can significantly reduce the risk of hypertension. Keeping that knowledge in mind not only protects themselves, but also helps others at critical times, thus saving more lives. High-tension emergencies, though terrible, can be dangerous in times of crisis as long as we are prepared.
