what should i do?

Question

Answer 1

Go see you family doctor first and get you blood pressure checked and he will be able to give you advise as to what to do next.

Answer 2

Sounds like it is time to see a licensed psychologist that is with a practice that includes a psychiatrist. The anxiety you are experiencing may be reduced with counseling and perhaps some medication. Anxiety can increase blood pressure and vise versa.

Also, you need to learn relaxation technqiues and a good psychologist can easily help you in this area. You may want to read up on progressive relaxation or go to www.webmd.com

Besides family history/genetics, hypertension can be rooted in stress related to finances, a job, a marriae, etc. Go see a licensed psychologist

Answer 3

See stress and anxiety at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on pages 7 & 6, and practise one of the 5 relaxation exercises on page 2 daily (read the whole page). Stop using salt, and use one of the "no sodium" types in supermarkets 50/50 with IODISED salt, in small amounts, and replace with sweet 'n sour, hot 'n spicy, curries, etc. Use lo salt, or no added salt versions, and check labels. Aim for a reduction of 70% to 90% (A LITTLE salt is necessary!). Also use fish oil supplements. Convert your family, as the results become clear, give them facts and methods, but don't be pushy!

Answer 4
