Suggest Treatment To Bring Down Blood Pressure Level
my blood pressure is high and has been for 30 years ,last Friday I had a reading of 155/115 / . I'm 53 years old and in reasonable condition,dont take any medication and never have apart from the odd Lemon drink drink when full of flue. 3 doctors over the years have said my readings are high yet none have prescribed tablets,now I know when it is high as I feel jumpy and a bit on edge. It increases quite a bit if I drink more alcohol than I should. Should I insist that I go on some sort of drug to bring my blood pressure under control?

Hello Sir
After going through the details provided by you i would like to tell you that the recommended normal limit of Blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg according to which yours is high.
Leaving high blood pressure untreated at any age could possibly lead to STROKE, KIDNEY damage, HEART ATTACK and many more life threatening or debilitating conditions.
So its advisable that you should be started on ANTI HYPERTENSIVE medication like AMLODIPINE or ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKERS or BETA BLOCKERS. I would like to suggest you to consult a cardiologist personally, get your self evaluated and start treatment for high blood pressure.
Do's and DONT'S:
1. High salt in diet, junk and canned food.
2. Do not smoke (if you do),
3. Avoid alcohol
4. Daily morning walks for 45 min a day for 5 days a week.
I wish you good health
