Losing weight is the first step.  Stop using caffeine.  Lower salt intake.  If this doesn't work a Doctor will prescribe Antenolol or another drug.

Your first bet is to minimize the salt you eat.  Cook with less and eat with less. You salt intake has alot to do with your blood pressure. High blood pressure or Hypertension is caused by high levels of sodium. Cut down on your pork intake such as eliminating bacon and such.  \nKeep up with the recommended vitamin servings you should get a day\nGood Luck

Lose Weight\n\nPeople who are overweight are 2 to 6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure, and the heavier you are, the worse your blood pressure is likely to be, so the most important high blood pressure treatment you can practice is to maintain the ideal weight for your body.\n\nTomato\n\nA diet rich with tomatoes is an excellent high blood pressure treatment because tomatoes contain high amounts of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which can help reduce blood pressure. In addition, tomatoes also contain six other ingredients that have the same effect.\n\nCalcium\n\nTo significantly reduce high blood pressure, take 1000 mg of calcium per day.\n\nSalt\n\nA very simple high blood pressure treatment consists of just reducing your intake of sodium, try to stay under 2400 mg per day. Sodium causes your body to retain water, and this in turn increases your blood volume, therefore raising blood pressure.\n\nAlso, add salt at the table instead of cooking with salt. When cooking, foods absorb a lot of salt, which reduces the flavor of the food, which leads to the need to add additional salt at the table to remedy the blandness.\n\nCelery\n\nStudies have shown that celery is an effective high blood pressure treatment, and that eating as few as 5 celery stalks per day can lower blood pressure.\n\nPotassium\n\nThe more potassium you take, the more your sodium levels decline, which of course results in a reduction of blood pressure. Take the recommended dosage of 3500 mg per day.\n\nCalcium And Magnesium\n\nAlthough neither of these are a high blood pressure treatment, your blood pressure may begin to rise when you have a calcium and magnesium deficiency. Try to get about 1000 mg of calcium per day and about 400 mg of magnesium per day.\n\nBroccoli\n\nBroccoli contains six different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nCarrots\n\nCarrots contains eight different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nGarlic\n\nGarlic is known to be a very good high blood pressure treatment. Add minced garlic cloves to your food whenever possible, or alternatively, you can take 600 mg garlic oil capsules 5 times per day. Look for capsules that provide 8,000 micrograms of allicin potential daily.\n\nExercise\n\nStudies show that exercising 30 minutes per day, 3 to 5 times per week, can lower blood pressure by 5 to 10 percent.\n\nReishi\n\nReishi is a proven high blood pressure treatment. Take in capsule form, 3,000 mg per day.\n\nHawthorn\n\nTake about 1 pound of hawthorn berries and remove the seeds. Soak the berries overnight in about 2 1/2 quarts of water. The next day, bring the mixture to a boil for about 10 minutes. Let it cool, strain, and drink 2 to 3 cups per day.\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment can also be taken as a tea. Mix 1 teaspoon of dried hawthorn with 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink 2 cups per day.\n\nAnd, as an alternative, you can also take hawthorn in capsule form. Take two 500 mg capsules or 1 teaspoon of tincture 3 times per day.\n\nCoenzyme Q10\n\nCoenzyme Q10 is known to enhance energy to the heart muscles, helping them to pump blood more efficently. This results in lower blood pressure.\n\nSmoking\n\nEvery time you light one up, your blood pressure rises significantly and stays high for a couple of hours.\n\nMeadowsweet\n\nMeadowsweet is very high in iron and magnesium, making it a good high blood pressure treatment as well as being beneficial for all blood disorders. Mix 2 tablespoons of meadowsweet into 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes. Strain and drink 3 times per day.\n\nLemon\n\nSqueeze the juice from 1 lemon into a glass of warm water. Add 1 tablespoon of honey, mix and drink daily.\n\nSaffron\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment may be expensive, but it is known to be very effective in lowering blood pressure because it contains the chemical called crocetin. Use saffron while cooking or use it as a tea.\n\n

Walking is a very effective way to bring down BP. Also, try drinking lots of water. You can add a lemon to your water, lemon is a natural diuretic (sheds excess fluids from your body). Also, avoid caffeine, i.e. coffee, soda, chocolate... Weight will also effect BP. And find something you enjoy, something that relaxes you, something that is soothing... music, TV show, sitting with pets (it is scientifically proven that pets lower a person's BP), working on a hobby, going to a place in nature that is peaceful... anything, and try to fit it into your routine a few times a week. Stress is also a big factor in BP. Are you stressed? If so, find some way to let it out, safely. Anger is another cause... But exercise and increasing your water will be big keys. It is a lifestyle change. And don't forget to cut down on your salt intake. Check the labels for sodium (salt) and don't add more to your food.

contains two prescription medicines that work together to lower blood pressure: amlodipine besylate (the active ingredient found in Norvasc®), a calcium channel blocker, and benazepril hydrochloride (Lotensin®), an ACE inhibitor. A doctor will prescribe Lotrel only after other medicines haven't worked.

I  use apple cider vinegar. While the vinegar is an acid, it moves the body over to an alkaline position, and thus should lower p.h.\nIt is also reportedly excellent for cleaning out our arteries. Don't know about that one yet, but it seems (along with some other things I am doing) to be lowering my blood pressure. It is also supposedly good for losing weight, and is a good all-around tonic. I take a teaspoon two or three times daily in a little juice glass of grape or apple juice.
