Electrocardiography, chest x-ray, and laboratory examinations such as kidney function tests, liver function tests, and complete blood count were performed to identify other complications of hypertensive emergency. This patient was taken to the ER due to decreased consciousness after a seizure occurring shortly before being admitted.
