Popis: Introduction: Hypertensive emergencies encompass a spectrum of clinical presentations in which uncontrolled blood pressures (BPs) lead to progressive or impending end-organ dysfunction. In these conditions, the BP should be lowered aggressively over minutes to hours. Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to find the effect of oral antihypertensive medication in blood pressure elevation and their outcomes in Pakistani environment.

We collect the data in two sections, as first of all we collect some demographic information regarding age, sex, socio-economic status and history of blood pressure. Then in second part we collect data regarding high blood pressure, use of medication and heart issues. For this purpose we prepare a questionnaire and fill that from patients. Results: Despite the lack of evidence of an immediate increase in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, primary care physicians often are hesitant to send patients with severe blood pressure elevations home. As a result, it remains common practice to acutely lower blood pressure using short-acting antihypertensive. Conclusion: In conclusion, in patients without previous hypertension, oral antihypertensive therapy can be initiated during the hospitalization with close outpatient follow-up.
