High Blood Pressure in Amravati: When to See a Doctor and Which One
High blood pressure (hypertension) often has no symptoms but quietly strains the heart and arteries. A cardiologist can check your pressure, look for heart effects and plan treatment with you.
Why it matters
Over the years, high blood pressure raises the risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke and kidney disease. Many people feel fine, so regular measurement is the only way to know.
When to see a doctor
- Readings are repeatedly 140/90 or higher
- You have headache, dizziness, chest discomfort or breathlessness with high readings
- You also have diabetes, high cholesterol or kidney problems
- You are on medicines but readings stay high
What a cardiologist does
Checks your blood pressure properly, asks about family history, may advise an ECG and echo to see whether the heart has been affected, and plans medicines and lifestyle changes. Your doctor will tell you your target.
