I am 39 years old female, married for last 12 years, has 2 sons aged 10 and 4 yrs. Since my 2 nd preg, in 2010, started showing irritable behaviour but didn t show any sign on my bp. I am the General Secretary of a NGO in Mumbai working for slum women and children. Since 2012 started to havesome problems with my BP. Last week due to hectic schedule and lack of sleep, my BP went to 180/100 and some medication, it came done to 136/94 in a week time with some rest also. Now the doctor has suggested to take Tab. revelol H 25 mg /1 tab a day for a month. But I want to slowly get away from medicines and practice alternative.Please suggest

Hello
welcome to hcm
well you can modify your lifestyle in the following way to help your bp get under control
(1) REDUCE INTAKE OF SALT IN YOUR DIET - your daily salt intake should not be more then 2.3 grams
(2) REDUCE WEIGHT - keep your BMI to less then 25
(3) EXERCISE REGULARLY - do atleast 30 minutes daily like cycling/swimming/brisk walking/aerobics
(4) DIET - eat lots of fruits/raw vegetables...take low fat dairy products n avoid meat/butter/ghee/fried food
(5) AVOID CAFFEINE - caffeine increases blood pressure so avoid coffee/chocolates/other products containing caffeine
(6) AVOID STRESS - stress in any form is biggest enemy to ur blood pressure..indulge in activities like meditation etc to reduce stress to the minimum
