Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a silent but serious health condition affecting millions worldwide. Often undetected due to its lack of symptoms, hypertension increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.

At Vasavi Hospital, we provide expert care for hypertension management. The first step is recognizing risk factors, including obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, high salt intake, and genetic predisposition. Regular blood pressure monitoring is crucial, especially for individuals over 40 or those with a family history of hypertension.

Lifestyle modifications play a vital role in managing blood pressure. Reducing salt intake, eating potassium-rich foods like bananas and spinach, and maintaining a balanced diet can significantly lower blood pressure levels. Physical activity is equally important. Walking, swimming, or yoga for 30 minutes daily strengthens the heart and reduces stress.

Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake also contribute to better heart health. Stress management techniques, including meditation and mindfulness, help maintain mental well-being, which is directly linked to blood pressure.

For patients requiring medical intervention, Vasavi Hospital offers personalized treatment plans, including medication and regular follow-ups. Our cardiologists ensure a holistic approach to hypertension management, empowering patients to lead healthier lives.
