High Blood Pressure Doctor in South Delhi
Hypertension managed properly — new diagnoses, home BP interpretation, medication rationalisation, resistant BP work-up, and integration with diabetes, cholesterol and kidney care. Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS), Friends Colony East and Maharani Bagh, Monday to Saturday.
New diagnosis, done thoroughly
Confirmation with a 5–7 day home BP log, then baseline assessment: ECG, kidney function with urine albumin-creatinine ratio, HbA1c, lipids, electrolytes and thyroid, plus a target-organ check. Younger or severe presentations get a secondary-cause screen instead of an automatic prescription.
Home BP readings interpreted, not dismissed
Home averages predict outcomes better than clinic readings. Bring the log — morning and evening for 5–7 days — and it drives the drug choice, the dose and the timing (including whether a tablet is better taken at night).
Resistant hypertension work-up
BP still above target on three drugs including a diuretic gets a structured review: adherence, salt load, NSAIDs and steroids, alcohol, obstructive sleep apnoea, renal artery disease, primary aldosteronism and thyroid disease — before adding a fourth tablet.
Fewer tablets, not more
Regimens are simplified where possible — single-pill combinations, dosing that fits your day, and side-effect review (ankle swelling, cough, cramps, dizziness on standing). Where weight loss and lifestyle change have worked, a supervised dose taper is offered.
BP never treated alone
Hypertension travels with diabetes, cholesterol, fatty liver, sleep apnoea and kidney disease. One physician reviewing all of them together avoids clashing medicines and duplicated tests — the core of Dr. Sachdev's internal medicine practice.
