MedZon Ganesh Hospital >>  Hypertension Clinic

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. It is known as the "silent killer" since it has no initial symptoms but can lead to long-term disease and complications.

• Many people have high blood pressure and don't know it.
• Important complications of uncontrolled or poorly treated high blood pressure include heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, peripheral artery disease, and aortic aneurysms (weakening of the wall of the aorta, leading to widening or ballooning of the aorta).
• Public awareness of these dangers has increased. High blood pressure has become the second most common reason for medical office visits in the United States.

There are non-specific symptoms associated with hypertension that may cause a person to seek care, including lightheadedness, dizziness, headache with or without nausea, change in vision, or lethargy and fatigue. There are many other reasons to develop these symptoms other than high blood pressure.

We concentrate specially on this Silent Killer and thus evolved our Hypertension Clinic. The Physicians and Staffs will maintain a log book for your Hypertension and will see the variations thereby treating it. Patient awareness counselling on Hypertension will be conducted on every visit.
