keep your salt intake to less than 2 grams a day. (we need some salt for a healthy diet) Exercise for at least 20 minutes every single day. Drink 2 liters of water daily. Eat potassium rich foods daily. If your blood pressure doesn't go down with these measures, it is time to see a doctor about medication.

The best thing for you to do is to drop all foods/liquids that are harmful to health and change your diet permanently. You should consider becoming vegan (no eggs, milk, cheese or meat) first of all. Eat things in their more natural state and use salt substitute such as Herbamare which is made of different herbs. Drop all caffeine - chocolate, coffee and soft drinks (even "diet") and of course all meats especially the unclean ones such as pork, lobster, shrimp, etc. that are particularly harmful to health. Eat whole grain foods, not the bleached, refined or processed foods. Don't eat in between meals and drink plenty of water. Get some sunshine and fresh air daily along with exercise. If you stick to this lifestyle, you can avoid disease and keep the blood pressure under control.

High or low blood pressure (like any other disease) is your body's way of telling you that you are doing something wrong. If you change this, your body will be grateful and so will you. Your health will definitely improve and you will not be at risk of suffering from a stroke, heart attack etc.

Hi,
Some times only one medicine will not control blood pressure so doctors add a second medicine, for me I am having Diovan 160 , 12.5 first medicine and Amlor 5mg as a second medicine.

Regards.

Hypertension is sustained elevation of resting systolic BP (≥ 140 mm Hg), diastolic BP (≥ 90 mm Hg), or both. Hypertension with no known cause (primary; formerly, essential hypertension) is most common; hypertension with an identified cause (secondary hypertension) is usually due to a renal disorder. Usually, no symptoms develop unless hypertension is severe or long-standing. Diagnosis is by sphygmomanometry. Tests may be done to determine cause, assess damage, and identify other cardiovascular risk factors. Treatment involves lifestyle changes and drugs, including diuretics, β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and Ca channel blockers.
Reduce fat and oils in your diet. The underlying cause (renal, drug-induced, arteriosclerosis, stress, smoking, etc) of your hypertension should be traced out and remedial action taken.

diet (lower sodium, the better, not too much cholesterol), exercise (regular exercising may lessen the risk of HBP),
stress (don't push yourself too much on something),
smoking (reduce or stop smoking if you're a smoker),
drinking (excessive drinking of alcohol isn't good),
fat in the body (reduce fat in your body through exercising),
and have a regular check-up from your doctor...

Eat right (low salt foods), exercise, and go to a doctor regularly.

I advise lifestyle changes (diet-low salt, low fat diet-, exercise) and antihypertensives (let your Dr. preswcribe one or more of the tens of antihypertinsives)

First, get medication from your doctor.

Then control your eating and exercise, and soon you won't need the medication any longer.

You can't eat crap and expect to be healthy, so eat healthy to be healthy.
