Absolutely not... sorry! \n\nIf you have high blood pressure (hypertension), you do need medical treatment to help warn off longterm ill effects of the condition. As with any medical condition, you should never "self-diagnose" or "self-medicate", even if you are sure of what you need. Rely on the professional medical knowledge and training of a doctor to help you here. \n\nGood luck and best wishes....

#1, I hope your friend sees a doctor/PA/NP for medical care.\n#2, The choice of the initial medication for high blood pressure depends on what other health problems he has (if any).\n\nYou need to DRAG him to the doctor's as soon as you can. He needs treatment NOW, to prevent much worse problems (heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, etc.) in the future.\n\nA good family practice or internal medicine provider can manage high blood pressure quite well. A cardiologist usually isn't needed.

With that blood pressure, I wouldn't worry at all.\n\nOnly once it goes toward 90 for the lower value, you might want to watch out. Not sure about a good indicator for the higher value, probably about 150/160 or so..\nSmoking surely doesn't really help in general, as such also for the blood pressure. So if you wanna do something good for your health, quit smoking...\nIf stress is a factor, I would have a good recommendation from my own experience.

High blood pressure.\nBack problems.

115/75 is lower than normal.  Most of us come in at 120/80.  That being said, 140/90 is only just over the normal rate.\n\nYou can eat more fibre, and lower fat foods.  You can stop consuming alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine, if you already use any of those.  You should drink more water.  You should get exercise every day - go for a 30 minute walk five or six days a week.  If you can do more intense activity than walking, then do that.\n\nThere are also lots of prescription medication you can take that will help lower your blood pressure, but if you don't work on improving your lifestyle, there's no point taking the medication.

You do know that high blood pressure WILL KILL you, right? My blood pressure was 220/180 right before my son was born. I had hypertension and was on drugs for \n\nsome time after that...This is the deal...if you are going to do the "alternative" route you have to stay on your meds EVERY day w/o fail while you do the alternative stuff EVERY day w/o fail...\n\nCut out salt and this means almost NEVER eating out...NO cigarrettes..little caffeine --Exercise-EVERY day and Meditate for at least 30 minutes two times EVERY day...no excuses...almost all people with high blood pressure from external causes(like stress)are also guilty of the lifestyle that raises blood pressure and stress and I know you KNOW what I am talking about..\n\nNow a word about those drugs you're taking...for some reason(money) doctors today do not prescribe the old drugs like water pills eventhough it is documented that the originals work BETTER with fewer side effects than  these new fancy things that put you in the hospital with NO blood pressure. It is your body ASK for the old stuff.

High blood pressure often has no signs or symptoms. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to be tested for it. You can find out if you have high blood pressure by having your blood pressure checked regularly at your family doctor. Most doctors will diagnose a person with high blood pressure on the basis of two or more readings, taken on several occasions. A consistent blood pressure reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher is considered high blood pressure, another term for hypertension. Some people experience high blood pressure only when they visit the doctor's office. This condition is called "white-coat hypertension." If your doctor suspects this, you may be asked to monitor your blood pressure at home or asked to wear a device called an ambulatory blood pressure monitor. This device is usually worn for 24 hours and can take blood pressure every 30 minutes.

depending on the level of blood pressure you have. if it is extreamly high i suggest lots of exercise and possible a severe diet change and partisipate in less stressful activities and or invironments. but if you do just have moderatly high blood pressure exercise should help signifigantly and try some relaxation methods.

Most hypertension is "essential hyertension" - that means we don't know what causes it.  Stress from your jobs may worsen hypertension, but changing your work is unlikely to "cure" high blood pressure.\n\nThings you can do to help your BP are to maintain a healthy weight and to exercise.\n\nAs for your job, only you can decide what would be interesting to you.  Maybe a career switch to something entirely new would help make itinteresting for you.

Remove your cause of mental tension or stress or worries. If the reason is your office, discuss the problem with your colleagues and seniors. Don't keep the problem with you. Mental tensions can often be reduced by a brisk walk, laugh loudly and relaxation or meditation. In fact, if you daily practice meditation, you can control your blood pressure for ever.\nMaintain your weight. Exercise more often. Since excess body fat is a primary risk factor in hypertension, it is important to maintain a healthy weight.\nBe physically active. Brisk walking, bicycling, raking leaves, and gardening are the best exercises.\nFollow a low fat diet. Eliminate cholesterol in your diet.\nEliminate salt from your diet. Look at the salt content of tinned foods, snacks, potato chips, French fries, diet soft drinks, sauces, etc. These are high in salt, don't eat them. Do not eat foods that contain soda, sodium, Na, monosodium glutamate, baking soda and preservatives. Read the food labels carefully. With herbs, spices, garlic and onions, you can make your food tasty without salt.\nRestrict consumption of refined sugars. Read the lables and note different names of sugars.\nA high fiber diet is recommended.\nIncrease intake of potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C. Potassium rich foods include banana, orange, tangerine, beans, dried peas,potatoes, etc.\nMagnesium rich foods include almonds, cashews, pecans, rice, banana, potatoes, kidney beans, oat bran, peas, soy, wheat germ, etc.\nCalcium rich foods include low fat dairy foods, nuts, watercress, kale, broccoli, turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, etc.\nGarlic helps reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
