The answer is what things you should stay away from. Caffeine from coffee, soda, tea will raise your blood pressure. So will alcohol and diet pills. Start drinking water only and get plenty of it. Stop smoking if you are. Other than medications, there isn’t much to take at home to reduce already high blood pressure
Medications needed may be a beta-blocker, ace-inhibitor, or calcium channel blocker. He should be taking an aspirin daily if he is not on coumadin.
Avoid foods that raise blood pressure (salt and salty foods such as processed meats, cheese spreads and crunchy snacks). Eat more of the foods that lower blood pressure (those high in potassium).
