How long does it take for a hypertensive stroke to pass through the danger zone?

Hypertensive stroke usually refers to cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, and the risk period is generally 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, age, co-morbidities, and complications. The classification of the risk period for stroke caused by hypertension is not uniform, but generally ranges from 1 week for mild cases to 2 weeks or longer for severe cases, depending on the patient’s own underlying condition. The prognosis is worse and the risk period is longer when the patient is >75 years old, has multiple diseases prior to the onset of the disease, such as tumors, diabetes, chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease, etc., and has complications, such as stress ulcers, aspiration pneumonia, pressure sores, and deep vein thrombosis, etc. The risk period is longer. It is recommended that patients should seek timely medical attention if they are unwell, and assess the severity of their condition and standardize their treatment under the guidance of a physician.
