its not a very bad issue to be hypertensive, becoz it could be managed easily if u really want to! u didnt tell us how high is ur blood pressure but i hope its less than 160\90, to make u feel happy my mum had a high blood pressure and after 6 months of diagnosing she stopped the medicament and now just on a controlled life style and thanks god shes very well now. easily 1st u should take a medicine for hypertension(see ur doctor). a the same time change ur life style like: 1)start excersising, the best excersise is the easiest excersise walking!! u can walk for 20 minutes daily in fresh air that would make ur blood pressure better and also ur whole health and life :-) 2) stop eating things containing salts and spices, tajke care never let ur stomach rule u ;-) 3) eat vegetables and fruits as much as u can and specially green vegetables 4)stop the fast food or shall i name it junk food! 5) try to always stay in a good mood never get angry or nervous, that really helps! 6) i suppose by time ur doctor will keep lowering the dose of ur medicament until he will cancel it all then u will only need to stay on ur lifestyle. please do what i told u or u will stay hypertensive and high blood pressure is not the problem........ the real problem is what it leads to: atherosclerosis, angina, heart failure, diabetus, hyperlipidemia............its like a trap of mines!!! so please take care of urself and listen to what i told u and i wish that everythin will be ok with u. about pregnancy dont bother about it, just pray to god and im sure god will help u and u will get the sweetest child:-)
