High blood pressure in Delhi: When to see a General Physician?

Medical assessment

High blood pressure, or hypertension, often presents without symptoms, making regular checks crucial. Rarely, it can cause headaches, blurred vision, or chest pain. **Routine Assessment:** Consider a blood pressure check if you are aged 40 or over and have not had one in over five years, or if you suspect you might have high blood pressure or are at risk. **Urgent Assessment:** Seek urgent medical help if you frequently experience headaches or blurred vision; have chest pain that comes and goes; or have other concerning symptoms that you worry could be due to high blood pressure. **Emergency Assessment:** Call for immediate medical attention if you experience sudden, persistent chest pain or discomfort (feeling like squeezing, pressure, burning, or indigestion); pain spreading to your left or right arm, neck, jaw, stomach, or back; or chest pain accompanied by sweating, nausea, light-headedness, or shortness of breath, as these could indicate a heart attack.
