Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern and following is symptom wise approach:

1. Hypertension is a common clinical problem and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke and since the e.c.g. and blood tests came abnormal thus it is wise to see a Cardiologist for further evaluation [thyroid function test] and management, till then:

. At present we have to control or modify the risk factors associated with high blood pressure which requires five step approach to the problem:

1. Exercise:
a. Brisk walk for 45 minutes every day, at least 5 days a week. Walking is the best aerobic exercise.
b. Yogasanas: these should be practiced and learned under guidance of an expert, and also after discussing with your physician as to which are permitted .
c. Pranayama: simplest is Deep breathing

PS. If you do not have any expert guidance, walking is the best and safest exercise.

2. Stress Management
. Meditation for 15 minutes everyday.
. Learn to live with a relaxed mind and think positive about your health and life.

3. Low fat diet
. Avoid : alcohol,caffeine,tobacco, butter, ghee, cheese, unskimmed milk, whole egg, deep fried food.

Take: soups,plenty of salads,raw sprouted pulses,more of bhajis prepared with minimum or no oil, curd of skimmed milk, pulses and legumes,roti or phulka without oil,onion, garlic,soya bean, apple, fruits with edible cover should be eaten with covers.

4. Elimination of known risk factors
. Smoking: both active and passive should be stopped and avoided.
. Weight reduction as per body mass index (B.M.I.)
. Maintain normal blood sugar level.
. Avoid mental strains through relaxation and if possible, change of job.

5. Drugs
. Take the anti hypertensive medicine as prescribed and other medicine of preventive importance is Anti oxidant [vitamin E]
