Patient's question:
Dad has been suffering from high blood pressure for over ten years. I heard from others that if someone in a high blood pressure coma doesn't wake up, they can die. Is it true that high blood pressure coma can be fatal?Doctor's answer:
If, due to hypertension-induced dizziness, it is more likely to be hypertensive encephalopathy or a hypertensive crisis, the mortality rate upon recurrence is still very high. Immediate hospitalization for follow-up is necessary to prevent further complications, including even side effects, which may lead to multi-organ failure or even sudden cessation of breathing and heartbeat. In daily life, strict attention must be paid, following medical advice, using antihypertensive medications, and having regular measurements to prevent excessive emotional excitement.
