A member asked:

Does hypertensive urgency has a cause or it is primary illness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Hypertension would be the primary cause. A hypertensive urgency just means an abrupt rise in the blood pressure, usually resulting in symptoms of some sort. See your doctor if your blood pressure is not under good control. Good luck.
