Experiencing High BP ,what Are The Remedies ?
Hello, I am 59yrs old, 61 kg, and currently taking medication for high blood pressure. I am on Lopressor 50mg 2 x daily. My bp is currently 196/95 and my heart rate is 43. My bp has reduced from 1 mth ago when it was 197/107. I walk daily 1/2 hr and am active in the garden. I am commencing work in 2 weeks time 20-30hrs per week as a family liaison co-ordinator in a hospital. I maintain a good diet...no added sugar, drink only water with lemon, or occasional Rooibus tea, vegetables, fruit, and lean meat. Can you give suggestions for me to help myself reduce my blood pressure?

Hi
I read your query and would like to say that your treatment isn't sufficient to reach the BP goal (BP You are doing all the recomended change in life style but I suggest to add other groups of medication like diuretics (HCTZ 25 mg) and ACE-i (tritace 10 mg) and Ca Blockers (Amlodipin 10 mg).
Hope i helped you some how.
