Blood Pressure or Hypertension

Blood Pressure or Hypertension

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common yet serious condition that often develops silently over time. It occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries stays too high, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other complications. Most people don’t feel any symptoms at first, which is why regular monitoring is so important.

At our center, we offer complete care for managing blood pressure — from early detection and lifestyle guidance to personalized medication plans and regular follow-ups. With timely treatment and the right support, high blood pressure can be controlled effectively, helping you live a healthier and more energetic life.

Several factors increase the predisposition to hypertension:

1. Gender: Both men and women are susceptible, necessitating regular blood pressure checks and lifestyle adjustments.

2. Age: Monitoring blood pressure is recommended yearly for children aged three and older, every two years for teenagers and adults up to 18, and annually for those aged 18 to 39 and 40 or older.

3. Pre-existing Diseases: Individuals with cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, kidney issues, adrenal gland tumors, and vascular defects are at higher risk. Certain medications can also elevate the risk.

Regular Check Up

Similar to complications seen in Diabetes, high BP and high cholesterol do have long-term complications (related to the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes). So it is important to regularly check BP and cholesterol to know if they are in the normal range. If not, medications do help to keep BP and cholesterol in adequate control. After the age of 30, it is recommended to go for screening tests to diagnose and detect certain lifestyle-related diseases early so that long-term complications can be addressed and avoided. So please do consult your doctor for regular check-up.
