What are the consequences of severe high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I've been experiencing frequent headaches and dizziness recently. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have high blood pressure. It is said that this condition can be very harmful to the body. I would like to ask, what happens if high blood pressure becomes severe?

Doctor's answer:

Hypertension is a chronic disease and the root cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If blood pressure is not well controlled, it can cause very serious harm to the body, leading to a series of inflammatory conditions in vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, and resulting in additional consequences. It is prone to causing particularly severe diseases such as hypertensive heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, and kidney failure. Therefore, patients must actively implement treatment.
