“Is a hypertension patient more prone to cardiac arrests?”
I am a hypertension patient with high BP. Does this put me at a high risk of cardiac arrests even when I take my medications properly?

Yes – and if your BP is still high you are not taking enough medication. When you have got it under control (average home reading less than 125/80) your risk will return to near-normal
Not cardiac arrest unless has LVH
Yes
Hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease. Make sure you see your doctor to ascertain your overall risk and that your blood pressure is well controlled.
