Is hypertension emergency characterized by persistent headaches?

Hypertensive emergencies may be characterized by persistent headaches.

As the blood vessel wall continues to withstand higher-than-normal pressure, patients with hypertensive emergencies will experience obvious symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and palpitations. If not treated in time, the symptoms may persist and worsen. Some patients may also develop gastrointestinal diseases such as abdominal pain, nausea, and anorexia, which are usually accompanied by symptoms of target organ damage such as acute stroke, fundus changes, and acute heart failure.

Patients with hypertensive emergencies should follow the doctor's advice and choose sodium nitroprusside for injection, nitroglycerin tablets, nicardipine hydrochloride tablets and other drug treatments to relieve symptoms as soon as possible.
