The first line of treatment of HBP is a conservative treatment. Which means proper diet balance, exercising, lowering your weight, control of stress and lifestyle advisory and make some tests. After a period of time considered by your physician there is going to be a reevaluation. If your husband can maintain the BP in a normal or borderline range, than he would continue without medications but with periodical examination. \nIf the BP cannot be controlled by this measures, then it will be necessary to administrate a proper treatment which varies on the background conditions (presence or absence of high blood cholesterol, diabetes, kidneys disease, etc.)\nMost patients with high blood pressure can develop a normal life with a single medication, but having follow up periodically.

drink more water (the more you drink the less your body has to store)\navoid soda (all soda even diet)\navoid as much salt as possible\n\nDO NOT TAKE "WATER PILLS" DIURETICS ARE BAD FOR YOU!

A regular exercise regimen, controlled salt intake, using low sodium salt, a sensible diet and medication as prescribed by your Doc, are much better ways to control high BP

Chances are, your blood pressure is a combination of excess weight, lack of physical exercise, high salt intake, and genetics.  When you go to the doctor tomorrow, he/she will take your blood pressue (most likely twice).  Two readings that are high will classify you as having hypertension (the word doctors use for high blood pressure).  That's all they use to diagnose you.  You are young to have high blood pressure, but it is becoming more common in younger people due to lifestyle.\n\nBlood pressure should be less than 120 for the top number (systolic number) and less than 80 for the bottom number (diastolic number).  Chances are, your doctor will recommend some lifestyle changes and will give you the opportunity to lower your blood pressure with better diet and exercise.  When you come back for a visit, if there is no improvement (if your numbers did not drop) you will be given a antihypertensive medication.  Then you will go from there.  The doctor will bring you back for a checkup until your blood pressure gets lowered.\n\nIf your pressure is not improved, there could be other causes for the high blood pressure such as pheochromocytoma (a rare, but usually benign, tumor), renal artery stenosis, or some other rare causes.  But this is most likely not the case.  Your doctor will be better able to evaluate this.\n\nLowering your weight by about 10-15 pounds can do wonders for your blood pressure.\n\nIt's nothing to stress about as long as you get it under control.  If it remains high (at your current level, or goes up), in the long run you can get damage to organs such as your kidneys, eyes, and enlargement of your heart.\n\nRight now, relax, go to the doctor, and focus on improving your eating habits and getting more exercise.  Your doctor will be more specific.

Absolutely NO, no drugs for now.\n\nA lot of causes could be give up Blood Pressure in a NORMAL person.\n\nIn first place you need to VERIFY if you REALLY have High Blood Pressure.  Taking the BP in different days and different hours of the day.\n\nNo a single Blood Pressure value make the diagnosis of Hypertension\n\nGo to the doctor.\n\nRegards

What is the origin of your high blood pressure?\nMaybe some other diseases coexist?\nIf we don't know that and what kind of therapy you have taken, if you are pre or post menopausal, if your parents had high BP, we can't talk about natural remedies.\nAs I use to say, in health one size does not fit all.\nAccording my opinion it is dangerous to try substitute your medicines with herbal remedies of any kind without your doctor's opinion.\n\nConsider also the following things\n- usually, herbal remedies are used along with the medicine\n- the form in which you will take the herbal remedy: if you will use garlic, as has been mentioned, what will be the amount that you have to take?\nIs garlic proper for your type of hypertension?\nIf you will drink an infusion(a tea of the herb),what will be the amount of the active substance that will be found in diluition in this infusion? How many cups you have to drink daily?\n \nTry to adopt a healthy life-style that I'm sure you have already adopted, to loose weight, practice some "light" sport like aerobic, walk for 1/2 - 1 hour daily and  try to control your stress ; at this point, a herbal infusion containing relaxing herbs is mostly helpful. Take care also if you take any antiinflammatory medicins, as they can slightly increase your BP.\n\nKaterina

Do a search for the DASH diet. It's been shown to help decrease hypertension (high blood pressure). There are several low sodium meal suggestions in there (I think 2 weeks' worth).

My mother & step-father have HBP. They are both taking Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements. They have only taken it for a few weeks & said that their bp has significantly lowered.\n\nAlso things like caffeinated & alcholic drinks will raise bp. Take in moderation.\n\nAn old wives tale that I am not too sure about is vinegar. Take a teaspoon of vinegar a day. Yuck, but lots of people say that it works.\n\nPeace.\n\n:)

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.

Yes I agree this is a serious problem because it is a symptom of high blood pressure. you should see your doctor if you also have headaches or blurred vision or dizzy spells,and your legs hurt after a mild exertion.\nIf you think it is not high blood pressure then cut way down on your salt intake and you can buy at the health food store or even some of the drug stores and wal-mart(of course)\ncarry in the pharmacy section the herb dandelion. It is a good thing to take because not only does it help you as a diuretic it also is one of the riches sources of potassium there is. Another is called yarrow, not as effective but pretty good, and this one is simple to get and cheap ,good old celery ,especially the leaf tops are a diuretic of a mild nature.\nYou need to watch it very carefully if you are taking anything that has a diuretic action that you don't lose too much potassium along with the water. This can be a life threatening condition.Your heart has to have the correct amount of potassium, sodium, and calcium in your blood to make the electrical connections to your muscles(your heart is a muscle)to keep them working smoothly. If you have muscle cramps you have lost too much and you need to immediately eat a banana or an orange or juice and get to your doctor as soon as you can.\nMy best advice though is not to fool around and go to the doctor and let him decide the best thing for you.

I can't imagine that there is a way to lower it overnight, but I can make a suggestion that has lowered my husband's blood pressure within 3 weeks and maintains it.\n\nIn the same way, my husband tried dietary changes and cardio workouts, but nothing worked until he added ViaViente to his diet.  It is a 100% natural, whole food juice.  After 3 weeks, he went from 140+ to 117.  After 3 months, he is at a stable 110.  He does not take any medications and no dietary supplements.  He swears by ViaViente.  I can only recommend it and hopefully your husband may want to give it a try because it's a natural way to keep his body operating at optimal levels.
