Title: High Blood Pressure – The Silent Killer You Shouldn’t Ignore
High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called a silent killer because it usually shows no symptoms — yet it gradually damages the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels over time.
According to Dr. Girish Kale, one of Nashik’s leading cardiologists, regular BP monitoring is essential for people above 35 years and those with a family history of heart disease.
Red-flag Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
If you frequently experience any of the following, get your BP checked immediately:
- Persistent headaches
- Blurred vision
- Nosebleeds
- Excessive fatigue
Treatment & Prevention – Dr. Kale’s Advice
- Adopt a low-salt, balanced diet
- Maintain regular exercise & healthy weight
- Reduce stress with mindfulness & proper sleep
- Take prescribed medication when needed
Dr. Kale emphasizes that early detection and treatment of hypertension can prevent heart attacks, kidney failure, and stroke — and help patients live a healthier life.
