Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
Hypertension once diagnosed is usually a lifelong ailment which is easily manageable with drugs and some changes in lifestyle.
You need to walk daily- brisk walk lasting at least 35 minutes or a total of 10,000 steps per day
You also need to restrict your intake of salt to not more than 1.5 grams a day. Avoid marketed products with added salt.
Avoid fatty meals
This way you can reduce and sometimes even totally eliminate your requirement for drugs to control your blood pressure
Follow with your doctor on a monthly basis. Maintain a home based blood pressure record. And donot change any drug doses without consulting with your physician

I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Regards.
