Drastically reducing your sodium intake will drop your blood pressure.
Also, if you smoke, quitting will reduce it, too.
My mom was on BP meds, then she quit and was able to go off the meds.
My mom’s cousin had to go on BP meds and she doesn’t smoke, so she reduced her sodium, ate a healthy diet and was off the BP meds in one week.
So, quit smoking, lower your sodium, lower your sugar, increase your fruits and veggies. You should be good.
Aside from diet and exercise, there are some herbs that are very beneficial for Blood Pressure. The most popular ones are Fish Oil, Hawthorn Berries, L-Arginine, C12 Peptides (from milk protein casein), Bonito Peptides, and Garlic.

First you need to lose some weight. Second, you need to modify your diet. Mainly you must limit the intake of sodium. If you smoke, quit. If you drink, limit your intake. These simple modifications can make a huge difference in your blood pressure. Also, you can try stress management techniques such as yoga, excersice, aromatherapy, and meditation. Stress hormones play havoc on heart rate and cardiac output, so keeping them down is a good way to lower your blood pressure. If none of these work, then talk with your doctor about possible medical treatments like diuretics, beta blockers, and ACE inhibitors. Drugs should always be a last resort.
