A member asked:

Hello docs, is essential hypertension life-threatening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypertension: Yes. It can be. Essential hypertension is the most common form of high blood pressure. It means there is not a secondary cause for the hypertension. It is usually very treatable but like any other chronic condition can be life-threatening if ignored or not treated appropriately.
