Malignant hypertension is extremely high blood pressure with evidence of organ damage. It is a medical emergency if organ damage is suspected. Causes include not taking blood pressure medications, blood vessel disease, kidney disease, spinal cord injuries, adrenal gland tumors, certain medications like birth control pills, and illegal drug abuse, such as cocaine.
Typical Symptoms of Malignant Hypertension
- Losing consciousness
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Similar chest pain to the previous heart attack
- Seizure
- Noisy breathing; e.g. wheezing, rattling
- Feeling flustered or scared
- Feeling breathless
Diagnostic Questions for Malignant Hypertension
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
- Are you currently dizzy?
- Is your chest pain similar to your previous heart attack?
- Have you had a seizure?
Treatment of Malignant Hypertension
Immediate evaluation in a hospital to investigate organ damage is suggested, especially if high blood pressure numbers accompany headache, vision problems, arm or leg weakness/numbness, and chest pain or difficulty breathing. Treatment in those circumstances may involve injected and oral medications to quickly lower the blood pressure.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
