HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE RELATIONSHIP

This study is investigating whether changes in atmospheric pressure (barometric pressure) are linked to hypertensive crises — sudden, severe spikes in blood pressure. While blood pressure emergencies are common in emergency departments, the environmental triggers are not well understood. The study aims to find out if weather-related pressure changes may play a role. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You came to the emergency department with a hypertensive crisis (systolic blood pressure of 180 or higher and/or diastolic of 110 or higher) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are having a hypertensive emergency (very high blood pressure causing organ damage such as kidney failure, stroke, or heart attack) - You have traveled to a different city or district in the last 4 days - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
