Comprehensive Hypertension Care at Jeevan Sai Hospitals

At Jeevan Sai Hospitals, we are committed to providing effective care and management for individuals dealing with hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a silent condition that can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and more if not properly controlled. Our team of experienced cardiologists and healthcare professionals work together to provide personalized care to manage blood pressure and reduce associated risks.

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is a condition where the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. This increased pressure can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other organs over time. It’s often called the “silent killer” because it may not show any symptoms until significant damage has occurred.

Causes of Hypertension

1. Primary (Essential) Hypertension:

   • No identifiable cause, but influenced by factors like genetics, age, and lifestyle.

2. Secondary Hypertension:

   • Caused by underlying conditions such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or sleep apnea.

3. Risk Factors:

   • Family history, poor diet (high in salt, fat, and cholesterol), lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress.

Symptoms of Hypertension

While high blood pressure often shows no symptoms, some individuals may experience:

• Headaches
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fatigue
• Vision problems
