Amritsar, May 17, 2025 – On the occasion of World Hypertension Day, Pulse Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals) organized a special health awareness event aimed at educating the public about high blood pressure (hypertension), its risks, and how lifestyle changes can prevent it. The event was led by renowned cardiologist Dr. Majid.
Dr. Majid, a highly experienced cardiologist affiliated with Pulse Hospital, addressed the audience and emphasized that high blood pressure is a ‘silent killer’—a condition that can gradually damage the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes without obvious symptoms. He pointed out that today’s fast-paced lifestyle, increasing stress levels, sedentary habits, fast food culture, and irregular eating patterns are key contributors to the rising prevalence of hypertension.
During his address, Dr. Majid advised the public to adopt the following preventive habits:
Regular physical activity
A low-sodium (low-salt) diet
Stress management techniques
Routine blood pressure monitoring
Avoidance of tobacco and alcohol
He stated, “High blood pressure is treatable, but even more importantly, it is preventable if we recognize the warning signs early and make necessary lifestyle modifications. Health is not just about treatment—it begins with awareness and prevention.”
Pulse Hospital, a trusted name in healthcare under the EMC Hospitals umbrella, has earned a strong reputation for delivering quality care through cutting-edge technology and a dedicated medical team. The hospital offers specialized services in Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Gynecology, Orthopedics, and Emergency Care.
