It can be categorized into two: Hypertensive Urgency (sudden blood pressure increase) or Hypertensive Emergency (blood pressure of 180/120 or higher).
When accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, severe headache, nausea/vomiting. In that case, it’s crucial to seek emergency medical attention immediately.
