Expert Hypertension Management

Controlling Blood Pressure, Protecting Your Heart

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. Often called the “silent killer,” hypertension typically has no symptoms but significantly increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other serious health complications. At Adapa and Agastya Medical Associates, we provide comprehensive hypertension management to help you maintain healthy blood pressure levels and protect your long-term health.

What Causes Hypertension?

High blood pressure develops from multiple factors, including poor diet (high sodium, low potassium), lack of physical activity, excess weight, chronic stress, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Medical conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, and sleep apnea can contribute, as can family history and increasing age. Certain medications may also raise blood pressure.
