Doctors for High Blood Pressure (BP)
Medically reviewed by Dr. Apurva, Medisage medical team
High blood pressure (hypertension) means the force of blood against artery walls stays too high. It often causes no symptoms, which is why regular BP checks matter. Untreated high BP raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease, but it can be controlled with lifestyle changes and medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should I see for high BP?
A general physician usually diagnoses and treats high BP. A cardiologist is advised if BP is hard to control or if you have heart symptoms.
What is a normal blood pressure?
Around 120/80 mmHg is considered normal for adults. Your doctor will set a target based on your age and health conditions.
Can I stop BP tablets once my BP is normal?
No. Normal readings usually mean the medicine is working. Stopping suddenly can make BP rise again. Talk to your doctor before changing any medicine.
