Is high blood pressure of 260 dangerous to life?

Patient's question:

These past few days, I've been feeling dizzy and lightheaded, thinking it was due to work pressure. After a careful check, my blood pressure is extremely high. Is it dangerous to my life if my blood pressure is 260?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your blood pressure is as high as 260 mmHg, and you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness and blurred vision. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up examination as soon as possible. This blood pressure level is already very dangerous and indicates a hypertensive crisis. It can easily lead to severe dysfunction or irreversible damage to the heart, kidneys, retinas, and major arteries. For example, conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and acute left heart failure. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
