Frequently Asked Questions
What is normal blood pressure?
Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg. Readings between 120-139/80-89 are considered pre-hypertension. BP of 140/90 or above is hypertension. Regular monitoring at R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri helps detect high BP early.
Can high blood pressure be cured?
Primary hypertension cannot be "cured" but can be effectively controlled with medication and lifestyle changes. Some patients with mild hypertension can manage it with diet and exercise alone. Our doctors at R.K. Hospital create personalised treatment plans.
What foods should I avoid with high blood pressure?
Avoid excess salt, processed foods, pickles, papad, canned foods, fried snacks, red meat, and excessive caffeine. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy (DASH diet) is recommended.
How often should I check my blood pressure?
If you have hypertension, check BP at least once a week at home and visit your doctor monthly until it is well-controlled. After stabilisation, a check-up every 3 months is usually sufficient. R.K. Hospital offers affordable BP consultations.

Part of the blood pressure checks and ongoing physician care guide
From this question to a practical consultation
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about blood pressure checks and ongoing physician care. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.
