ease type your query here...My childrens nanny collapsed today with blood pressure 290 over 148 when paramedics arrived. She was completely incoherent and nauseous... could this cause permanent brain damage. Forgot to mention we live in a third world country - she had swelling and bruising on her arm and did not bump herself - could this be related to todays incident? Could the arm bruising be a clotted artery? 7 hours after admission we still had not seen a doctor.. so I have not been abke to get any answers?
Hello, I would explain that such high blood pressure values can lead to intracranial hemorrhage For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan in order to be sure that everything is OK.  Regarding the bruise in her arm, I don't think that it could be related to a blood clot. But, I think that it could be caused by a trauma during falling. Anyway, a physical exam and an X-ray may be needed.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
