Dear Patients,

Yesterday, we observed World Hypertension Day—a global initiative to raise awareness about high blood pressure and how it silently affects millions of lives. As your doctor, I want to take a moment to talk directly to you about this often overlooked but extremely important health issue.

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. It may not show symptoms, but it quietly damages your heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes.

Why Should You Care?

1 in 3 adults in India is affected by hypertension.It’s the leading cause of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.It often co-exists with diabetes, worsening complications.

Did You Know?

Many patients come to me only after complications have begun. But the good news is hypertension is preventable and manageable with the right lifestyle changes and medications.

Simple Actions You Can Take Today

1. Check your BP regularly – even if you feel fine.

2. Reduce salt intake – aim for <5g per day.

3. Move more – 30 mins of walking daily is powerful.

4. Eat smart – prioritize fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

5. Manage stress – try yoga, meditation, or journaling.

My Commitment to You

As your doctor, I am committed to helping you live a longer, healthier life. If you haven’t had your blood pressure checked recently, please schedule a visit. Early detection saves lives.

Let’s honor World Hypertension Day not just with awareness, but with action.

Take charge of your health—starting today.

Warm regards,

Dr. Aniket Oswal MBBS, MD (Internal Medicine)
