Nearly 315 million Indians suffer from hypertension, yet only one in three are diagnosed and one in five receive treatment. Cardiologist Dr. Ambuj Roy emphasizes the silent nature of hypertension, underscoring its potential for stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure if left unchecked. He stresses the importance of early screening, starting at age 25, and advocates for regular exercise, which can significantly lower blood pressure even without weight loss.
