Will Blurred Vision And Fast Talking Be Due To High BP?

My brother is having strange symptoms that I think may be associated with untreated high blood pressure and are becoming worse. The left side of his tongue is swollen and his left eye lid is suddenly drooping. His vision has also acutely become worse and he s talking unusually fast, almost with a stutter. I m trying to convince him to go the ER, but he s hesitant. THANK YOU!

Hello there and welcome,

Well untreated high blood pressure is always risky and puts the person into the high risk category for a developing certain other diseases(not going into those details at this moment).

I've gone through your query and the only thing I'll suggest you to please take your brother to the nearest ER available at the earliest.

Please try to understand that it is a medical emergency in which you just have to convince him somehow and just rush to your nearest ER(I'm not mentioning private chambers' of any physicians because your brother is going through a medical emergency for which he's in need for a institutional management)

The list of symptoms that you've mentioned here are highly suggestive of Intracranial bleeding and/or stroke (plus you've already mentioned the worsening of high Blood Pressure)

Please don't waste any more time, just rush to your nearest ER and also get a CT scan of head done . On the way to ER do keep an eye on your brother wheather he's breathing properly. If possible get an Ambulance(ACLS) as soon as possible.

Thank you for contacting HCM, hope your brother'll get well soon
