Hypertension Management

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. Over time, this can damage blood vessels and lead to serious health problems like stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure.

At Dr. Bhinder Clinic, we focus on accurate diagnosis, individualized treatment, and lifestyle modification for long-term control of blood pressure.
