Understanding High Blood Pressure
Hypertension is a condition where the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries remains higher than normal over time. This extra pressure can gradually strain blood vessels and vital organs.
If left unmanaged, it may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and other serious complications.
At Garg Family Clinic, we emphasize early detection, accurate evaluation, and practical treatment strategies to keep blood pressure under control.
Causes & Risk Factors
Several factors can contribute to high blood pressure:
- Family history of hypertension
- Excess salt intake and unhealthy eating habits
