Blood Pressure and Heart Care in Jammu
High blood pressure rarely announces itself, which is why it is worth having measured. Dr. Anil Kumar Dhar treats hypertension, manages cholesterol and assesses cardiovascular risk at his internal medicine clinic on Canal Road, Jammu, with medication chosen on evidence-based protocols.
What blood pressure care involves here
Blood pressure is measured at the visit, and your readings at home are useful to bring if you take them. If treatment is needed, the doctor starts or adjusts medicines and reviews the result at follow-up. Cholesterol is checked and managed alongside, because blood pressure and cholesterol are two of the main things that decide the risk to the heart.
A cardiovascular risk assessment puts these together with your age, sugar, weight, smoking and family history to estimate where you stand and what would change it most.
Who should come
Anyone told their blood pressure is high, anyone on blood pressure or cholesterol medicine who wants it reviewed, and anyone with a family history of heart disease, stroke or diabetes who has not been assessed. Headaches, breathlessness on exertion, or swelling of the feet are worth a visit.
What to bring
Your home blood pressure readings if you have them, any ECG, echo or blood reports, and the medicines you take. Avoid tea, coffee or smoking in the half hour before the visit so the reading is a fair one.
When it is an emergency
Chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, sudden breathlessness, or sudden weakness or slurred speech are not clinic matters. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department at once.
