Hypertension Management | Dr. Meenakshi Kalyan | Manipal Hospital Whitefield

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is becoming more common among young adults due to genetics, obesity, high salt intake, and lack of physical activity. In this video, Dr. Meenakshi Kalyan, Consultant – Internal Medicine at Manipal Hospital Whitefield, explains the difference between primary (most common) and secondary hypertension, which can be linked to kidney disease, sleep apnea, or hormonal disorders. A BP goal of 130/80 mmHg is ideal, especially for people with heart disease, diabetes, or kidney issues. Symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, nosebleeds, and anxiety should never be ignored. Management includes medication, regular exercise, a healthy low-salt diet, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
