Some cases of HBP are caused by other illnesses. This kind of HBP is called secondary hypertension, and it is often cured once the original medical problem is cured. Most HBP, however, is essential or primary hypertension. This kind cannot be cured but can be kept under control by regular, ongoing treatment.
Doctors think that many things combine to cause HBP. Being overweight, drinking too much alcohol, and eating too much salt are risk factors because they raise your risk of having HBP. They do not cause it directly.
Blood pressure goes up in all people during periods of stress or exercise. But avoiding stress will not prevent high blood pressure. You can have HBP even though you are usually a calm, relaxed person.If you have mild HBP, your doctor may suggest that you lose weight and keep it off, eat less salt, cut down on alcohol, and get more exercise. You may bring your blood pressure down simply by following this advice. Even if medicine is needed, these daily habits may help it work better.
Some people think that when their blood pressure comes down, they no longer need treatment. If your doctor has prescribed medicine, you may have to take it for the rest of your life. Later on, though, you may be able to take less of it.There is now good evidence that HBP can be prevented in many people. The keys to prevention are:
Keeping your weight moderate;
Cutting down on salt;
Exercising regularly; and
If you drink, having no more than two drinks a day.
HBP may not make you feel sick, but it is serious and should be treated by a doctor.
You can bring down your blood pressure with changes in diet and daily habits and by taking medicines if necessary.
Losing weight, cutting down on salt and alcohol, and getting regular exercise may be helpful, but only as suggested by your doctor. Do not assume these are substitutes for medicine unless your doctor says they are.
If one day's dose of medicine is missed, do not double up the next day. Instead, call your doctor for advice.
Take your medicine at the same time each day-for example, in the morning or evening after brushing teeth to help set a regular, easy to remember routine.

Hi, my dad was suffering from high blood pressure and has ever had stroke twice. He also tried to jog and exercise but nothing seemed to help.
Then I came across this health food called VPlus and bought it for him to eat. Within 2 months of taking VPlus and changing his diet a little, he lost 8kg and his blood pressure went down.
When he stopped taking coffee and tea altogether with the intake of the product, his blood pressure went back to normal.
If you would like more info about VPlus, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com

From the point you are born to the point you die, you are alone.I know this is cliche, but think about it for a second.Think about life as a road.On this road, you meet people who hang around you for a while and they go away.Until you die, this repeats.So get used to being alone and learn how to have fun alone.Be self-centered.Every other person is just there to amuse you for a while.So if you are sad someone has dumped you or doesn't want to talk to you anymore, think of it as if their time is over.If somebody consciously tries to bring you down though, go and shut their mouths.Don't let them get popular off of you.Good day.

Try breathing. Bring your chest up for more efficient breathing. Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. Experiment with other types of breathing as well. when you breathe out slowly, you will bring down the blood pressure.

This might be a rare case of the heart being big.
This is common to big people since it takes a bigger motor for a bigger car.
P.S. Having a bigger heart doesn't really mean its a decease, its sometimes normal.

Sometimes it is just genetic. You might benefit from medication.
