Managing High Blood Pressure – Tips & Treatments

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a silent but serious condition that increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. It often shows no symptoms until it causes complications, making regular monitoring and early treatment essential. At Mahabir Doctor’s Hub in Siliguri, we provide expert care to help you manage and reduce your blood pressure.

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

• Obesity or lack of physical activity
• High salt or processed food intake
• Stress and anxiety
• Family history of hypertension
• Smoking and alcohol consumption
• Other health conditions like diabetes or kidney disease

Signs and Symptoms to Watch Out For:

• Persistent headaches
• Dizziness or blurred vision
• Chest pain or shortness of breath
• Nosebleeds (in severe cases)

Many people remain asymptomatic, which is why routine screening is important, especially after age 40.

Diagnosis and Testing

A simple BP measurement can reveal your pressure levels. Additional tests may include:

• ECG or echocardiogram
• Blood tests for cholesterol and kidney function
• Eye exams (to detect damage to retinal vessels)

We take a holistic approach at Mahabir Doctor’s Hub:

• Lifestyle advice: diet, salt restriction, stress management
• Weight management and exercise guidance
• Medication if needed (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, etc.)
• Regular BP monitoring and follow-ups
• Uncontrolled blood pressure silently damages vital organs. With proper treatment, you can avoid serious
• complications and lead a full, active life.
