Malignant hypertension that is extremely high blood pressure that develops very rapidly and it also causes some type of organ damage. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 but in this condition the blood pressure goes above 180/120. I have searched many blogs and websites and I have come across a fact that it should be treated as an emergency. Would like to know more from you about its treatment and does it play any role in the mental health of a person.

Hi, Malignant hypertension occurs when a sudden spike in blood pressure puts you at risk for organ damage. It often happens in people with a history of high blood pressure. But it can also occur in people with normal blood pressure. The condition is a medical emergency that requires immediate care.
