🩸 Complications of Untreated Hypertension
Let’s understand this in a very simple way.
What is hypertension?
It means high blood pressure. If it is not treated, it can damage many organs in the body.
What can happen if BP stays high?
Constant high pressure damages blood vessels and organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys.
✅ Correct Answer: (c) Aortic dissection, renal failure, stroke
Why these complications occur?
- Aortic dissection → High pressure can tear the aorta
- Renal failure → Kidneys get damaged due to long-term high BP
- Stroke → Blood vessels in brain can rupture or block
👉 These are classic, life-threatening complications of uncontrolled hypertension.
Why other options are not correct?
- (a) → Hydatidiform mole ❌ not related to hypertension
- (b) → Asthma, tamponade ❌ not caused by hypertension
- (d) → Pneumothorax, pleural effusion ❌ lung conditions, not typical BP complications
Simple Exam Trick:
Hypertension → damages Heart, Brain, Kidney
Think: Stroke + Renal failure + Vessel damage
📌 Note: Hypertension is called a “silent killer” because it may not show symptoms until serious complications occur.
