Low salt and less water
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Low salt diet and reducing the intake of fluids would help to reduce the blood pressure to some extent.
You may need to be placed on medication specially one with combination of angiotensin II receptor antagonist and a diuretic. This would be a better combination to start with.
