High blood pressure is a dangerous phenomenon, the symptoms of which often go unnoticed. The head of the first cardiology department of the Hospital for War Veterans 2, Sergei Ivanov, told in which case it is necessary to call an ambulance in case of hypertension.
According to him, the key reason for calling doctors is a situation when a person fails to bring blood pressure back to normal with the help of drugs. Ivanov explained that this may require quick intervention, as well as more aggressive therapy, according to "Moscow speaking".
The expert warned that doctors should also be urgently called for pain in the heart, if the symptoms of hypertension did not go away within 10-15 minutes after taking the pills. He clarified that we can talk about a suspicion of myocardial infarction. At the same time, the patient's health can deteriorate greatly if he waited an extra half hour.

According to experts, there are a large number of "quiet" symptoms of high blood pressure. These include headache or blurred vision, dizziness, increasing chest pain and shortness of breath, and swelling, such as in the legs.
