I've been lowering mine slowly by a combination of weight lifting and cardio exercise as well as better diet habits. After six months I am now down to 145/80 and feeling all the better for that. Still a little way to go, I suppose. Unfortunately there are side effects. The dopamines I get form exercising every day mean that I get depressed if I miss a session... that's a real addiction and habit forming pastime... albeit that my stress levels are considerably lowered and my performance at work has improved... at least I thinks so... and I might give myself a salary increase this year... these things all lower blood pressure.

Meditation: this has been clinically proven with transcendental meditation, however those guys are a little "culty", you can learn the techniques and practice by yourself, I'm pretty sure most forms of meditation will yeild positive results
Regular, moderate to high-intensity cardiovascular exercise (80-85% of your estimated maximal heart rate = 220-your age) for 30-45 minutes, 3/4 times a week.
Lower your salt intake, use salt substitute.
Take a potassium supplement.
If you are overweight, loosing weight will help.

Jackie is correct approximately Dr. or experiment your self at one of a kind drug retail outlets. Also, the hospitals have volunteers that take blood stress at no cost on particular days. Check out yours. My blood stress has been ninety/50 for decades. Dr. says that's well, as I'll by no means die from middle similar issues. As for elevating it, I do not know the way you would. Just be conscious you might have it and watch out approximately status too quick. If it's not low, you more commonly will have to see your Dr. Good good fortune.

Cut out caffein, soda pop, and walk everyday. Doing these lowered mine so much that the doctor asked if I was taking a medication that he didn't know about.
