See your Doctor. You may need medication.

I am sure that some methods are available to decrease your blood pressure, however, I would be very careful if you are thinking about stopping your meds.  End stage renal failure is serious business (as you know) and although exercise, avoiding salt, and avoiding stress will help improve your blood pressure a small amount, they pale in comparison to the usefulness of medications for this.  Exercise has been shown to be the most effective, dropping systolic blood pressure 5-10 points in some studies.  Decreasing your salt intake to 2 grams or less will lower your blood pressure another 5 points.  \nI would suggest doing these things in addition to the medications that you are already on.

If you are overweight lose weight.\nCut your salt intake\nno canned veges or soup\ntry frozen veges\nno prepared meals like hamburger helper\n\nKeep up the good work with the exercising that really helps the blood pressure\n\nif you are diabetic the normal range is\n\n100-130 systolic\n60-80   diastolic\n\nif not\n\n100-140\n60-80\n\nNormal range should be 120/80

That's a very good blood pressure...applaud yourself! :)\n\n It's not bad if it gets lower as long as you don't feel weak, dizzy, or about to pass out. If you have any of those symptoms, make sure to see your doctor.

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.

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.

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.

There really isn't a healthy way to do that!\n\nIf it's water weight, you can try a diuretic to help... and of course, extreme diet & exersize might help.

Preventive Care :\n \nStudies suggest that the following lifestyle factors can help prevent hypertension:\n\nMaintaining a desirable weight\n\nAccording to several large-scale, population-based studies, being overweight is one of the strongest predictors of development of high blood pressure, including in adolescents and young adults. Similarly, maintaining a normal body weight is one of the most effective ways to prevent high blood pressure. Weight reduction, therefore, in overweight individuals of any age should be a priority in the prevention of hypertension.\n\nReducing salt intake\n\nAlthough population-based studies suggest a link between salt intake and prevalence of high blood pressure in particular groups of people (African Americans, for example), how each individual responds to sodium in his or her diet is quite variable. Since reducing dietary salt is generally considered safe, however, low-salt diets are recommended, particularly for those at risk for developing hypertension or heart disease.\n\nIncreasing physical activity\n\nSeveral studies suggest that physically inactive people may be at an increased risk for developing hypertension. According to some population-based studies, men who lead physically active lives can reduce their risk of developing hypertension by 35% to 70%. Although the duration and frequency of exercise necessary to prevent or treat hypertension is not well established, some evidence suggests that low to moderate intensity exercise may be more effective than higher intensity exercise training. \n\nLimiting alcohol consumption\n\nStudies suggest that people who consume three or more alcoholic beverages per day increase their risk for developing hypertension. If an individual is going to drink alcohol, therefore, intake should be limited to no more than two drinks per day.\n\nEating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables\n\nPeople who consume vegetarian diets have significantly lower blood pressure than those who do not. The specific nutrients responsible for lowered blood pressure remain largely unknown, however.\n \nPlease visit:\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsConditions/Hypertensioncc.html\nhttp://www.yoga.net.au/precautions

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.

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.
