High blood pressure
Usually silent. Easy to check. Very possible to bring down.
Reviewed by [Dr Name]High blood pressure rarely has signs, so it should be checked often. A reading of 140/90 or more on repeat checks is high. Less salt, more movement, better sleep and, if needed, medicines help. Never stop BP medicines on your own.

The numbers

- Headaches, mostly in the morning
- Feeling dizzy
- Nosebleeds (rare)
Yes, often. Less salt, more movement and weight loss can lower BP. Some people still need medicines, and that is fine. Never stop BP medicines on your own, even if readings look normal.
What helps
Small changes. Real difference.
Less pickle, papad and packaged snacks. Taste food before adding salt.
30 minutes of brisk walking on most days.
Good sleep and breathing breaks help BP.
Take them daily. Only your doctor changes them.
