Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Managemen of hypertension is detailed below
DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension): include more fruits, vegetables and lean protein like chicken/turkey breast. Decease sodium content in diet. Avoid high fat and fried food. Avoid processed sugars in your diet.
Exercise regularly like brisk walking for 30 minutes daily

Follow these measures and re-check blood pressure in 3 months. If after 3 months the blood pressure is persistently high (140/90), then antihypertensives should be started.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarifications
