Persistent headaches, especially at the back of the head
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Shortness of breath on exertion
Chest tightness or palpitations
Blurred or double vision
Nosebleeds (in severe hypertension)
Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
Swelling in ankles or feet

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered high blood pressure?
Blood pressure above 130/80 mmHg is considered elevated. Stage 1 hypertension is 130–139/80–89 mmHg and Stage 2 is 140/90 mmHg or higher. Dr. Sonawane assesses each patient individually to determine the best management approach.
Can high blood pressure be cured permanently?
Primary hypertension is a lifelong condition that can be very well controlled with medication and lifestyle changes. Some secondary causes (like thyroid or kidney disease) can be treated to normalise BP. Dr. Sonawane provides personalised long-term management plans.
Why is hypertension called the "silent killer"?
Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms for years, yet the condition silently damages the heart, kidneys, brain and blood vessels. Regular BP checks are the only way to detect it early.
How often should I check my blood pressure?
Adults over 30 should check BP at least once a year. If you have hypertension or risk factors, monthly home monitoring and regular clinic visits are recommended. Dr. Sonawane will advise the right frequency for your situation.
