Arjun Verma, a 52-year-old software engineer...
Arjun Verma, a 52-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, had always prided himself on his long work hours and dedication. His father had a history of heart disease, but Arjun dismissed it, thinking his vegetarian diet was enough protection. Over the past year, he began experiencing persistent headaches, especially in the mornings, and noticed he was unusually short of breath climbing the stairs to his apartment. A routine company health check revealed a shocking blood pressure reading of 168/102 mmHg. His primary care physician, alarmed, referred him to Dr. Kapoor, a cardiologist. Dr. Kapoor confirmed Stage 2 hypertension and explained that Arjun's stressful lifestyle and genetic predisposition were a dangerous mix. He recommended starting a combination of two medications (an ACE inhibitor and a calcium channel blocker), alongside immediate lifestyle changes. Arjun was initially in denial and fearful of becoming 'dependent on pills.' The first few weeks on medication brought mild dizziness, which was unsettling. However, with Dr. Kapoor's reassurance and dosage adjustments, the side effects subsided. After three months of consistent medication, daily 30-minute walks, and reduced salt intake, Arjun's blood pressure stabilized at a healthy 128/82. The morning headaches vanished, and his energy returned. Emotionally, he journeyed from denial and fear to acceptance and empowerment. He now sees his medication not as a weakness, but as a vital tool that allows him to be present for his family and manage his health proactively.
