32yo male, 80kg, non smoker, healthy diet. dianosed high blood pressure of 8. any tips 2 lower without meds?
no family history, been told its critical level, heard medications cause dizzyness,impotence and worse..depression. has anyone experienced similar & have any natural remedies/advice? how do u drop it when you are doing all the rght things already?
If BP is truly at critical levels, medications are pretty much the gold standard for prevention of stroke or heart attack.
One suggestion, though, since diet and exercise don't seem to be an issue here: Have the kidneys checked.
A common cause of high blood pressure is poor blood flow to the kidneys. The kidneys then secrete a hormone to increase blood pressure, thus providing them with more blood. ACE inhibitors help to reverse this trend, and without some of the more unpleasant side effects you mentioned.
There are also a variety of hormonal imbalances that could cause this condition, so an endocrinologist might be beneficial.
The most important thing to remember is this: without treatment, hypertension undeniably leads to complications. The medication should be tried, even if it is considered a short term fix while seeking a more agreeable answer.
How do you control your High blood pressure?
I'm 30 something , overweight and have severe high blood pressure. The pill I have been taking seems to make me depressed , lazy, and drowsy- which I hate. i also have a stressful job. I guess number one and two are to lose weight, and quit my stressful job. I have a new Doctor at my clinic with no bedside manner and he' s trying to use scare tactics and he doesn't seem to be listening to what I tell him. I guess he did make me realize I have to take more responsibility for my blood pressure, but this is also a genetic issue that unfortunately got passed to me. I don't think it's helping to stress me out more about my blood pressure, plus not give me the medicine I may need. I wonder if he's a quack. Anyway point taken and I need some lifestyle changes as well as a new doctor. Part of that is diet and looking at holistic ways to control my pressure. Any holistic suggestions and natural remedies that work out there?

My husband has High Blood pressure, particularly the diastolic is nearing 100 sometimes.?
The systolic pressure varies between 130-140. He is not taking any medicines, not even going to see a doctor. I am scared. Don't know what to do? Any natural remedies? Thanks
weight loss, less salt & fatty foods. However, I've lived with high blood pressure for years & the Dr could'nt give me any medication to bring it down. I would also like to know his age because the older you get, the higher the norm would be. My blood pressure would vary from 160/90 to 180/96 under prescribed medication. I lost weight & even though it's still not normal, I'm ranging 140/80. My eye sight, under the high blood pressure, got bad as well. So he may also want to think about his eye sight. I'm 46 & have been fighting high blood pressure for 6 yrs now but as far as it ever reading normal again, I've given up. After losing the weight, I've also stopped taking my medication as well because the medication kept increasing but it wasn't helping.

What’s the best method to lower high blood pressure naturally ?
Aside from the obvious methods of eating right, exercises and lowering salt intake. Are there any natural herbs or remedies that can lower really high blood pressure quickly ? I’m talking really high as in 180 over 110.. Heart attack stroke kinda blood pressure. Thanks for your replies.. God bless you !
Fatty acids lower blood pressure better than anything I've ever seen or heard about.
Salmon oil capsules have the most amount of fatty acids per gram of all fish.{WARNING- Watch the amounts of total daily Vitamin A levels from all supplements and don't exceed 25,000 IUs per day. IUs are international units and is a measure of volume and Mgs are a measure of wight.} I would alternate with Flax Seed Oil,Evening Primrose Oil,Borage Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Garlic can lower pressure as well,but keep in mind it thins blood so don't take with blood thinners.
