hello ,
thank you for writing in to hcm.
Since you are 62 years old, the hypertension is essential hypertension due to advancing age. Hence only exercises and diet control will not help you attain the normal Blood pressure levels.
You need to take the medication Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg (olmighty) as this will protect your heart and blood vessels from the ill effects of hypertension.
Also along with medications, a low salt diet, exercise like brisk walking daily, eating a healthy non fatty diet consisting of good amounts of fruits and vegetables will help you control your BP well.
Regards ,
