Excellent video that explain what is actually going on particularly for those who have a concern about urgent high blood pressure to alleviate the stress they feel about having high blood pressure that has peaked as in resistant hypertension. When it won't come down, and you are freaking out about having a stroke. It can help you settle down until the BP can be brought under management actually making you less hypertensive.

concerned as I'm having readings at 160/100 and I'm 20 years old. I'm pretty healthy in most regards, but I do have a very high stress job, very high stress, and usually working at my computer 15 hrs a day, anxiety, not much exercise. But besides this I have a clean lifestyle. not exactly 180/120, but it's usually accompanied by tachycardia with PVCs, very slight-mild disorientation, and very types of chest pain. for instance, that was my reading earlier today. was just sitting at my desk working, typing on a keyboard, that's it. BP started rising (it was already elevated) and the effects hit me, I felt terrible. It felt like if I turned my head just 25' degrees, that my heart would tear in half or explode. it's like if you have a muscle cramp and you know that one place NOT to "hit" otherwise it'll cause excruciating pain - it was like this. Not sure what to do. Already been to ER many other times before I knew what PVCs/palpitations were and I was worried, wasted over like 75k now going to ERs for this stuff.

A doctor sent me to the er just because my blood pressure was 200/100. I told her that I was not having chest pain, sob, difficulty talking. I wasted the doctor,s, nurse time. The doctor at the clinic panic.

I get those super high numbers whenever I lie down in a Dentist's Chair ... they do my pressure and say they will be back in a few ... my cue to start breathing, after a couple minutes of relaxation and deep breathing my pressures are normal and we get on with the pain and suffering.

Thank you. This really helped me understand the confusion in regards to my treatment. I had read in some health charts that 180/120 was a go to the ER immediately number, full stop. I occasionally get numbers in that range (just the top) during high anxiety (which is now centered around my BP). I could for the life of me understand why the ER clinician and my primary care doctor just sent me home with BP medicine and told me to focus on anxiety. I thought that if I’m hitting these numbers throughout the day, then I must be a walking powder keg. I thought the traffic example was particularly helpful to that end. But it looks like they all did the right thing.

Regarding the suggested diagnostic testing @ 6:43. Other than an EKG and urine dipstick, I wouldn't have access to any of these to assess whether or not there is evidence of end organ damage if I'm in a stand alone urgent care/primary care office. Sure I can send them out, but that doesn't help me in the management of the BP in this acute setting. Do you assume they are without end organ damage if they are asymptomatic and have benign physical exam? Otherwise you'd have to send them to the ED just to order these labs/imaging studies, which is the opposite the title of this video.

Please be careful with clonidine, as stopping this medicine will cause rebound hypertension that can put you at even more risk for end organ damage.

Request an abdominal ultrasound, more specifically a Kidney doppler ultrasound. As you are coming of age, there might be a blood vessel narrowing from the kidneys to the aorta, and that can most definitely cause unexplained high blood pressure.

RILEY (SlotDog) PLAYS SLOTS (He's a dog) if they confirm that the high blood pressure is indeed caused by renal artery stenosis, or at least the narrowing is a contributing factor to the high numbers, then a stent placement might be a good idea, especially if the hypertension is medicine resistant.
