Hypertension Management
Hypertension Management
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often referred to as a “silent killer” because it typically presents no symptoms but can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss if left untreated. At Bhatia Hospital, Dr. Praveen Bhatia offers expert care in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of hypertension, backed by over 35 years of experience in Internal Medicine.
Dr. Bhatia’s approach to hypertension management is holistic and patient-centric. Every patient receives a detailed clinical evaluation, including blood pressure monitoring, lifestyle assessment, and relevant blood tests to determine any underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, kidney issues, or metabolic conditions. This enables him to tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses not just blood pressure levels, but overall health.
Treatment involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, dietary counseling, regular exercise recommendations, and when needed, medication to control blood pressure. Dr. Bhatia ensures patients understand the importance of salt reduction, weight control, physical activity, stress management, and smoking cessation as part of their treatment strategy.
Medication management is done cautiously and scientifically, selecting the right antihypertensive drugs based on the patient’s age, health status, co-existing conditions like diabetes or heart disease, and lifestyle. Regular follow-up visits allow for dosage adjustments, monitoring of side effects, and early detection of any complications.
Dr. Bhatia is also vigilant in screening for target organ damage — effects of hypertension on the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes. He uses ECG, echocardiography, kidney function tests, and eye check-ups to assess and manage any related damage at an early stage.
Patient education is a cornerstone of hypertension care at Bhatia Hospital. Dr. Bhatia believes that informed patients are more likely to comply with treatment and adopt lasting lifestyle changes. Every patient is guided on monitoring their blood pressure at home, recognizing warning signs, and understanding the importance of long-term commitment to their health.
A member of leading medical associations such as API, IMA, and CSI, Dr. Bhatia stays current with national and global hypertension treatment protocols.
If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure or have a family history of hypertension, trust Dr. Praveen Bhatia for expert care that’s rooted in experience, compassion, and clinical excellence.
