Managing Hypertension in '40s




 

High blood pressure, or hypertension (a reading of 130/80 mm Hg or higher), can silently damage the body over years. Uncontrolled, it damages and narrows arteries, potentially causing aneurysms.

This damage can lead to severe health problems affecting major organs:

  • Heart: Coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure, and an enlarged heart.

  • Brain: Stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA or ministroke), and dementia.

  • Kidneys: It is a leading cause of kidney failure.

  • Eyes: Damage to blood vessels in the eye can cause vision loss.

  • Sexual Health: It can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Lifestyle changes and treatment are essential to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of these life-threatening conditions.

Patient 42Yrs old, Male, joined us in mid December 2024 to help him go off the medicines. He had frequent episodes of High BP ranging Systolic: 164 -180 mmHg and Diastolic: 95 -104 mmHg and It was investigated and diagnosed as Primary Hypertension. 

With Dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, Patient has lost 12 Kg weight and his BP has now stabilized around Systolic: 120-128 mmHg and Diastolic: 78-84 mmHg even with above suggested reduction in medication.
