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.
