High BP. Taking Lisinopril. Normal Ultrasounds. Any Natural Herbs To Lower BP? Suggest Low Sodium Diet?

Hi. I am a 26 year old male on lisinopril. I have been on the medication for about 2 months. I am not sure why I have high blood pressure (could be a combination of my poor diet and drinking alcohol every night for a few years), but I've gotten myself on a fitness plan and quit drinking. I've already done ultrasounds of my kidneys, blood tests, etc - everything is fine. can I get off this medicine immediately? is there any natural herbs you can suggest that would be good for lowering blood pressure, in addition to my exercise and low sodium diet?

Hello friend,
You can very well get off your drug with immediate effect. Wait for another week without any drug. Get your BP checked again. Note your troubling symptoms.
If you are still hypertensive and have symptoms troubling you, that means you are not cured. Remember that no chemical drug can cure you.
In my long experience, I have very many cases of Hypertension cured with Homoeopathic genetic and constitutional treatment. Your disease is a genetic and constitutional one. Therefore you have to get such remedies that can make genetic and constitutional corrections in your sickness. Homoeopathy is that.
Therefore my advice to you is to approach an expert Homoeopathic physician at the earliest.
If not possible to find one, you can get back to me with your detailed case at the earliest.
With Best Wishes,
Dr C. J. Varghese,
Homoeopath

1. As Ultrasound along with blood tests came fine, thus Secondary causes can be ruled out as the cause of hypertension.
2. Immediately getting of this medicine can result in rebound hypertension and shooting up of blood pressure to higher levels, so it is wise to Consult with your Cardiologist regarding the same, and if you want to get off this medicine one has to taper the dose according to the response and after consulting with your Attending Physician.
3.
Low salt Diet: total salt intake should not exceed 2.5 grams per day
no extra salt should be taken during meals.
use Losalt where salt is essential.
Avoid salt rich food: pickles,papad,sauce,cheese,salted butter-biscuits-peanuts/cashews-butter milk,popcorns,wafers
4. Take potassium rich foods like grapes,mosumbi.
5. Avoid saturated oils-use mono saturated oils,avoid all deep fried foods, unskimmed milk.
6. Increase fibre intake i.e. leafy vegetables, salads,fruits,pulses and legumes
7. Use skimed or double toned low fat milk.
