Dear user, hypertensive emergency is that level of BP which requires immediate correction. For most patients it's 180/110 but it varies. Depending upon signs of target organ injuries like heart, kidney, brain, eye your doctor will take urgent action. Presence or absence of headache plays minor role in the decision making.
