Heart & Blood Pressure Care in Selaiyur

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and cholesterol, combined with lifestyle modifications and appropriate medications, significantly reduces cardiovascular risk.

Home blood pressure monitors (digital BP machines) enable regular tracking outside clinical settings. Take readings at the same time daily, seated comfortably, after 5 minutes of rest. Record readings for your doctor to review.

Blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers) require prescriptions and should never be stopped without medical advice. Cholesterol-lowering statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin) are among the most widely prescribed medicines globally.

Heart-healthy supplements like omega-3 fish oil, CoQ10, and magnesium may complement medical treatment. However, they should not replace prescribed medications. A low-sodium diet, regular exercise, stress management, and maintaining a healthy weight are foundational.
