High blood pressure (BP) ko “silent killer” isliye bolte hain kyunki kai logon ko symptoms hi nahi hote. Aur jab symptoms aate hain, tab damage already start ho sakta hai. Isliye BP ka best detection: regular measurement.
Kabhi-kabhi early signs ho sakte hain: headaches (especially morning), dizziness, blurred vision, chest heaviness, ya nosebleeds—but yeh guaranteed signs nahi. Stress, high salt diet, low activity, smoking/alcohol, obesity, aur family history major factors hote hain.
BP control ke practical steps:
- Salt reduce: packaged foods, namkeen, pickles limit
- Daily walk: 30 min brisk walk
- Weight control: even 3–5 kg loss helps
- Potassium-rich foods: banana, coconut water, dal (as suitable)
- Stress management: breathing, consistent sleep
Gym karte ho to strength training bhi helpful hai, bas extreme heavy lifts without guidance avoid. BP monitor karte raho, especially agar family history ho.
Doctor kab zaroori:
Agar readings repeatedly high aati hain (multiple days), chest pain, severe headache, breathlessness, ya vision changes. BP medications life-saving ho sakti hain—self-medication mat karo. Best approach: early catch + lifestyle + professional guidance.
