Patient's question:
Our neighbor's grandfather also had high blood pressure. He was sleeping well yesterday, but suddenly died. Hello doctor. Can high blood pressure cause sudden death?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension refers to elevated blood pressure within the blood vessels. Hypertensive disease can lead to sudden death, as it is often neglected due to a lack of attention to one's health, with blood pressure never being measured, or it may be asymptomatic but remains high without timely intervention and treatment, resulting in cerebral vessel rupture and cerebral hemorrhage, which can be fatal. Therefore, individuals over the age of 35 should start monitoring their blood pressure regularly. Maintain physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
