Your hypertension can be addressed in a number of ways depending on whether it is Essential Hypertension or if it high blood pressure due to some other condition (often to do with the kidneys or blood vessels).
Your heart problem ... well, that'd depend on what heart problem you are talking about.
Hypertension - general
(1) General measures - lifestyle changes
Stress reduction - relaxation therapies
Low salt diet
(2) Medications - you will need to see your doctor to have these prescribed
Diuretics
ACE inhibitors - N.B. these are contraindicated in certain forms of high blood pressure (Renal Artery Stenosis)
Calcium Channel blockers
Beta Blockers

Recently working to reduce hypertension, sodium content of processed foods unbelievable! RDA guideline 2300 mg per day...next to impossible, but with fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains you can reach goal. I have moved from 139 over 95 to 101 over 75. Counting sodium mgs is no fun, but it's effective, and once you start, it gets easier. Doctors do not really know what causes hypertension in most cases, but I truly believe it's the American diet, read labels!
