Hypertension

Hypertension

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. This can lead to severe health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because it may not show symptoms for many years while causing significant damage to the body. Key risk factors include genetics, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress.

Hypertension Care 

At Jeev Multispeciality Hospital, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with hypertension. Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing management to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Diagnosis and Assessment: Accurate diagnosis is the first step in managing hypertension. We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to measure blood pressure and assess overall cardiovascular health. These include:

  • Blood Pressure Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood pressure to identify patterns and determine the severity of hypertension.
  • Comprehensive Health Assessment: Evaluation of risk factors, medical history, and lifestyle to understand the underlying causes of hypertension.
  • Diagnostic Tests: Additional tests such as blood tests, urine tests, electrocardiograms (ECG), and imaging studies to check for complications and other health conditions.

Treatment and Management: Our personalized treatment plans are designed to manage hypertension effectively and reduce the risk of complications. These include:

  • Medication Management: Prescription of antihypertensive medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, and calcium channel blockers to control blood pressure.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on dietary changes, physical activity, weight management, and stress reduction to support heart health. This includes adopting a low-sodium diet, increasing fruit and vegetable intake, and incorporating regular exercise into daily routines.
  • Regular Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of blood pressure and regular follow-up appointments to assess the effectiveness of the treatment plan and make necessary adjustments.

Patient Education and Support: We believe in empowering patients with the knowledge and tools needed to manage their condition effectively. Our education and support services include:

  • Health Education: Information on hypertension, its causes, effects, and management strategies.
  • Counseling Services: Support for lifestyle changes, stress management, and coping strategies to help patients maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Support Groups: Opportunities to connect with other patients managing hypertension, providing a platform for sharing experiences and advice.

Ongoing Care and Monitoring: Hypertension requires long-term management. We offer comprehensive follow-up care to ensure that blood pressure remains under control and to prevent potential complications. Our team is committed to providing continuous support and adjustments to treatment plans as needed.
