What Are The Diet Plans For High Bp Of 190/115?

I am a 60 year old male, On 3 different visits to the doctor, my bp has been up.(190/115). They say that I have left ventricular hypertrophy and retinal hemorrhages, so now they have put me on a low sodium diet, exercise and told me I could only have 1 beer a day. Needless to say, that did not help so they have put me on an oral diuretic and a beta blocker, and a vasodilator to decrease my bp

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand your concern and appreciate your effort to modify the diet for the control of hypertension.
The main cause for the high BP is high quantity of Sodium contents in the food- which is usually we will take in form of salty foods. People with High BP should not take salt more than 3gram/day. So avoid food containing higher salt contents such pickle, pappads, cheese, salami, salted and dry roasted nuts salt fish and smoked fish,soy sauce, gravy granules, stock cubes and yeast extract. Along with diet modification do cardiac exercises after consultation with your physician and continue the treatment as well since at this high BP only diet will not helps in bringing down the BP. Do the follow up regularly for BP recording.

I hope this Information is helpful, have a nice day and take care.

Thank you for contacting HCM,

I suggest you to continue the same medication. And here I will suggest you some of the method that will help you to lower your bp..so that you can reduce your medication.
salt intake can increase your BP, so kindly try to avoid salt intake in your diet. I suggest you to practice SELF MANAGEMENT FOR EXCESSIVE TENSION under a qualified yoga practitioner. Also you can try some yogic asanas like backward bending( ardhachakrasana),
Pranayamas like seethali, seetkari, sathantha, chandraanuloma viloma will help you to lower your bp drastically if you practice daily.
Please let me know if you have any doubts.
Hope my suggestions will help you for your life. Thank you
