Background: In low- and middle-income nations, especially those in Asia, the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory illness, is on the rise. The present study was conducted to assess hypertension among patients visiting general medicine department. Materials & Methods: 115 patients visiting general medicine department of both genders were selected. Two measurements of the blood pressure of each study participant were made 30 minutes apart, with the participants in the sitting position, by using a mercury column sphygmomanometer. Hypertension was diagnosed when the systolic BP was ≥ 140mmHg and/or the mean diastolic BP was ≥ 90mmHg. Results: Out of 115 patients, 68 were males and 47 were females.27 subjects were normal, 30 had pre- hypertension, 25 had stage I and 33 had stage II hypertension. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The mean SBP among males was 142.6 mm Hg and in females was 141.2 mm Hg. The mean DBP among females was 141.2 mm Hg and DBP was 90.6 mm Hg. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05).SES was upper class in 8, upper middle in 10, middle class in 12, lower middle in 24 and lower class in 32 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: It was discovered that a large percentage of the outside patients had hypertension. This study highlights the importance of early hypertension detection, which can be achieved through routine population screenings conducted both in hospitals and in the community.
