Understanding Hypertension: A Patient Guide

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the most common conditions treated at Hijaz Hospital's general medicine and cardiology clinics. Left unmanaged, it increases risk of stroke, heart disease, and kidney problems.

Lifestyle Steps

Patients are encouraged to reduce salt intake, maintain regular physical activity, manage stress, and take prescribed medications consistently. Regular follow-up appointments help clinicians adjust treatment as needed.

When to Seek Care

Seek urgent care for severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes with elevated blood pressure. Routine OPD visits are available for ongoing management and screening.
