What should you do if high blood attacks?

If you experience a high blood pressure episode, also known as a hypertensive crisis, it's important to remain calm and measure your blood pressure if possible. If your readings are significantly elevated (generally over 180/120 mmHg) and you have symptoms like chest pain, severe headache, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. If you have a prescribed medication for hypertension, take it as directed. Regularly monitor your blood pressure and consult your healthcare provider for long-term management strategies.
