Have you seen patients after having had a hypertensive encephalopathy? do their symptoms tend to resolve or tend to be permanent?

Symptoms: Although a headache can be associated with elevated BP the symptoms should resolve in a 24 hour period.

Can be complex: A true hypertensive encephalopathy is indeed an emergency and can be complicated by bleeding, stroke, coma, seizures. Recovery may be lengthy depending on complicating features. A rehabilitation program may include months of intervention. Since each case varies, prognostic information must be obtained from doctors involved.
