seems a case of hypertensive emergency with heart and brain involved. possibly cardiomyoathy with encephalopathy. Breathless is probably part of congestive heart failure complicating blood pressure induced dilated cardiomyoathy. normal blood pressure and good urine output should be sufficient monitoring and support of supplemental oxygen therapy is helpful
