* Brief Answer: healthy diet and may add anti hypertensive is important to get your blood pressure controlled.
*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 condition and comorbidities .Some drugs that are perfect for patients are not necessary good for others.Regular blood pressure monitoring is as important as starting treatment so that we could assess efficacy of the medication we started.
I suggest my patients the following:avoid stress and excess caffeinated drinks.
*Conclusion: I suggest you lower salt content in food and consult your physician to start treatment.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
