A hypertensive crisis is a very high and severe increase in blood pressure that may lead to a stroke. This is usually broken down between Urgent and Emergency. Urgent means no damage has been done to your organs. Emergency means damage has been done to organs, and the risk for life-threatening complications is high. A hypertensive crisis requires immediate medical attention.
