Answer 1

calm your mind,sleep and rest properly,kick away all your anxiety, practice meditation,avoid fattyfood,extra salt in your foodings and drinkings,drink adequate water...but if you have reguler consistance high blood pressure recording (specially after early morning rise from bed..) you have to sought out the cause of your high pressure thru clinical check up and phathological investigations under a doctor...and take medicines or other advices he gives...remember most of the causes of HTN (High blood pressure) are not known but HTN is regarded as one of the major diseases and some times can be as serious as life threatning....it can cause your heart to disfunction, can gradually lower kidney functions and others..so don try to avoid medicines always...and don get worried reading my answer (its just to make you aware of the fact.not to scare or frighten you)...please take it seriously..

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

hi,

Its good that you have started walking and changed your eating habbits. With these if you also take care of some simple but effective home remedies for High BP, will sure help you. I have compiled few of them for you.

* Eat 2-3 cloves of garlic. it is regarded as an effective means of lowering blood pressure.

* Amla is another effective remedy for high blood pressure. A tablespoon each of fresh amla juice and honey mixed together should be taken every morning in this condition.

* Grapefruit is also helpful in preventing high blood pressure.

I'm gonna tell you this right up front - anything you put in your mouth, whether its a pill, powder or food even, if it is taken in the amounts needed to change how your body functions physiologically - its a drug.
Which means that there are consequences, and side effects.
That said. You might want to try 100-300mg of CoQ10 a day for a month or so to see if it works.
But at that dose, there may be side effects.
When in doubt, tell your doctor that you want to try this, Take in some lit - in fact, go to your library and copy the PDR for supplements - take that into him, and see what he thinks.
That way, he knows what you are taking - and he will know what to look for in case of any odd/new symtoms.
Good Luck

Answer 5

I hate to discourage you from changing your lifestyle to help your blood pressure because truley, it helps
I have had hypertension since I was 19 yrs old
Back then I was 5'10" tall and weighed about 130 lbs. I was healthy as I could be. I just had hypertension.
Still do. If I dont take my medicine every day, I can feel my heart pumping in my head and I have been examined from top to bottom. I just have what is called essential hypertension. No cause, its just there.
