High blood pressure ka sabse tricky part ye hai ki aksar koi khas symptom hota hi nahi. Isliye isko “silent killer” bola jata hai. Bohot log bolte hain, “Mujhe headache nahi hota, mera BP theek hoga,” lekin reality me headache hona–na hona reliable sign hi nahi hai.
BP consistently high rahe to heart, brain, kidneys, eyes – sab pe extra pressure padta hai. Years tak koi dikhne wala problem nahi hota, phir ek din stroke, heart attack, ya kidney issue jaise bade event se pata chalta hai ki numbers kitne time se kharab chal rahe the.
Daily control habits actually boring but powerful hain. Salt kam rakho – extra namak sprinkle karna, daily papad, pickle, chips, namkeen – thoda limit karo. Ready-made sauces, processed foods, packet snacks me hidden salt bahut hota hai.
Regular walk ya light exercise BP ke liye almost free medicine jaisa hai. 20–30 minutes brisk walk most days of the week bohot difference la sakti hai. Smoking aur heavy regular alcohol se distance rakhna bhi important hai.
Agar doctor ne medicine start kar di, to “aaj reading normal hai, chalo band kar dete hain” wala stunt mat karo. BP drugs long game ke liye hote hain, sirf ek din ka reading dekh ke decision nahi liya jata.
Ghar pe ek reliable BP monitor rakhna helpful hai, par har chhoti fluctuation se panic bhi nahi karna. Pattern dekho, single reading nahi.
