Blood pressure >180/120 mmHg, is called hypertensive emergency, meaning urgent antihypertensive management is required to prevent acute cardiovascular events such as: stroke, myocardial infarction, dissection. aortic dissection,... are all events that can lead to death, or leave serious sequelae.
In case of blood pressure of 200mmHg, the first thing to do is to take your father to a cardiologist, in case there are accompanying symptoms, such as flushing, headache, blurred vision, nervousness, chest pain If you have difficulty breathing, you must be taken to the emergency department for timely treatment.
When visiting the doctor, the doctor will order blood tests and imaging tests to assess cardiovascular risk factors as well as evaluate the complications of target organ damage of hypertension.
