Grandpa has high blood pressure. What are the most serious complications of high blood pressure? How is high blood pressure treated?Doctor's answer:
Severe complications of hypertension include cerebral hemorrhage and aortic dissection, both of which are quite serious and can be devastating. Additionally, because hypertension affects various blood vessels in our body, it can also lead to damage to target organs, such as the kidneys, heart, and peripheral blood vessels, potentially causing further damage. Therefore, it is recommended to seek timely treatment. Based on your blood pressure levels, appropriate antihypertensive medication should be taken orally for a long-term period, with the hope of helping you.
