How can I cure hypertension?

All of the above. Also, change jobs especially if you are in a pressure cooker type of work. Constant stress can cause hypertension, and while changing jobs is not always easy, it could save your life. I had hypertension and was in a job that was heart attack territory. I left the job, wondered then how I ever worked in it for so long, and found out how life can be relatively stress free.\n\nGood Luck.

Chili peppers are supposed to be good for high blood pressure because they help to dilate blood vessels. So enjoy!\n\nIf you are sensitive to salt, you have to be careful with mustard, because many commercially prepared mustards have a high sodium content. Look for a low-sodium variety and you should be okay. The mustard itself is not the problem, just the sodium.

Yes, it can. Drinking one glass of red wine a day is good for you. \nBut really you should eat oatmeal everyday and cut out any processed meats and foods high in fat, salt, and sugar. Exercise also works. \nYou can also take diuretics like Diurex at walmart. But always talk to your doctor before changing your diet or taking any type of supplements while on any prescribed medicines. These lifestyle suggestions I have given could alter your blood pressure and make your current medication to strong for you, causing you to be hypotensive instead.

in some cases like mine its just in your genes. But in other cases it can be many things like smoking, high sodium, lack of exersise, overweight. You really need to address it because many people do not realize that hypertension is also considered a silent killer. Next to heart diesese it is one of the major killers of many people.

If you are overweight, you may be able to cure your high blood pressure by getting your weight closer to suggested weight for your height.  Otherwise, it is treated by medication, which is not a cure.\nSome peoples allergies change over time, thresholds can change and symptoms can go away. This would be a cure, in a way.   Otherwise, you can treat your hay fever by avoidance or medication, such as claritin, flonase, or allergy test and shots.  That is also not a cure.

There are three natural supplements that studies have shown to be highly effective in helping to reduce high blood pressure: Niacin, Garlic, and Cinnamon. All are available at health food stores, or even Walgreens. Doctors now commonly prescribe a pharma version of niacin to help control pressure. Another very important thing is daily exercise. It doesn't have to be much, a daily walk, just get your blood pumping!

It is a very good tonic and other than hypertension, can cure other diseases like chronic skin problems, rids you of worms also. However,like all other medicine, you need to take a break. Since you have been taking it for 2 months continuously, break off for about 15days, check your BP and start only if your BP has increased drastically. If not, let the break continue for another 10 days and then restart the tonic. Good luck!

Well...first of all, high blood pressure is defined as anything over 140/90 mmHg.  If you think that you have high blood pressure, then first thing to do is to go see a doctor.  He or she will take your blood pressure once more and if it is high (but not dangerously high), then most probably they will advise exercise, proper low fat low cholesterol diet and will also tell you to not get stressed out often.  Usually they try this for a couple of months and then tell you to come back at which time, they will check your blood pressure once more.  If it is still high, then they will start medication.  High blood pressure can be controlled at this stage with medication (either one or a combination of drugs), proper exercise, proper healthy diet and minimal stress.  Along with your cooperation, your doctor can combine drugs to achieve a satisfactory blood pressure reading over time.  There are always many options available.  Therefore, discuss with your doctor, and with your cooperation, both of you can get your bp under control, which is very essential since high blood pressure is one of the risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Also, smoking is also associated with high blood pressure...so, if you're a smoker the first step would be to stop smoking.

I am 22 years old and I have level 2 hypertension (really high bp for my age), and I have found that there are many things that can help drop the pressure. Try eating less sodium (salt) in your foods. Excercise daily. Stay away from caffiene as much as possible or any other stimulant for that matter. RELAX, being angry also raises your blood pressure. Dont smoke. Do not take over the counter allergy medicine without consulting your doctor first. In most cases high blood pressure is un-curable but can be tamed. Usually it is hereditary so medicine is a must. If you do decide to go with the medicine, make sure that it is right for you. I was taking a certain med and it just made my heart race, so I guess you could say it made things worse. Hope that all this helped.

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:)

exercise and eat right. Reduce salt and sodium in your diet. Stop drinking sodas. Limit your alcohol intake. Stop smoking if you smoke. Maintain a healthy weight for your height. Ask your Dr for other ways to reduce blood pressure. If you need to go on medications, check with the DR on the side effects including sexual side effects. Try to change your lifestyle and you may be able to get off the medications. Good luck!

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.

the recommended daily allowence for salt is about 2200mg per day so of course anything much well than that is good, keep away from fatty foods, fast foods, eat lean meats chicken and tuna, eat rice, oatmeal, fruits and vegetables, you can even lower your blood pressure by doing so

There is a recent study suggesting that people who eat twice the recomended servings of fruit and vegetables see significant reduction in high blood pressure. Avoidance of salt in processed food has also been helpful to some. Obviously no smoking and regular excercise.\nHOWEVER  \nuncontrolled high blood pressure can have devistating effects. My aunt and grandmother had strokes and my father died of a heart attack.  They all had bad lifestyles, but high blood pressure is a killer.\nTalk to you doctor and see if she is willing to try a non-medicated approach. If not, look for another doctor.  See if  you can monitor yourself at home as well. Best of luck to you.

Wow.  That is pretty high.  You can lower your blood pressure by:\n\n1.  Losing weight. \n2.  Exercising.\n3.  Eating the right foods.\n\n\nHowever, with BP as high as that, you're probably stuck on the meds.  Sorry.
