Notify the physician immediately
🚩 A headache, palpitations, and neck stiffness in a client recently started on antidepressants—particularly MAOIs—may indicate a hypertensive crisis, a potentially life-threatening emergency often triggered by dietary tyramine or drug interactions. Immediate medical intervention is required to prevent complications such as stroke or organ damage.
🚩 Delaying notification or treating the symptoms without identifying the cause can be dangerous.
🚩 Reassuring the client or giving aspirin ignores the underlying emergency.
