Myra Iyer, a 58-year-old high school...
Myra Iyer, a 58-year-old high school principal, had managed her hypertension for a decade with medication. Despite her disciplined lifestyle, her blood pressure remained dangerously high, often spiking above 180/110 during stressful school events. She suffered from severe morning headaches and episodes of dizziness. Her cardiologist, Dr. Kapoor, diagnosed her with resistant hypertension. He recommended a Renal Denervation procedure, explaining it would disrupt the overactive nerves in her kidneys that were driving her high blood pressure. The minimally invasive catheter-based procedure was performed under sedation. Myra felt anxious but hopeful. In the weeks following, her blood pressure began a steady, significant decline. Six months post-procedure, with a reduced medication regimen, her readings are consistently in the 130s/80s. The crushing morning headaches are gone. Emotionally, she moved from a state of constant, fearful vigilance about a potential stroke to feeling a profound sense of relief and regained control over her health, allowing her to focus on her passion for education without the shadow of a medical crisis.
