Hello,
Brief answer: Blood pressure is controlled by diet, lifestyle modification, and medications.
Explanation: My opinion is that high blood pressure on many occasions is an indication for control. That happens on many levels. First, be sure that high blood pressure is not secondary to any other diseases as Cushing or renal failure. Then, diet with low salt and less fat content is crucial. Exercise and other healthy activities are also a mean to control blood pressure.
If all that dose not help, medications are a must. That is usually decided by your doctor according to your mother condition and comorbidities. Some drugs that are perfect for people are not necessary good for others. Your mother has a diabetic foot that needs to be checked by your physician as it may worsen her condition.
Conclusion: I suggest you start the 3 ways of controlling blood pressure under your physician supervision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
