hi. thanks for posting on hcm.
if your blood pressure is just above normal then it can be lowered by life style changes
i would recommend you to
1. decrease salt intake
2.increase physical activity if you have a sedentary lifestyle ideal would be a 30 minutes walks everyday and meditation.
3. cut out smoking and alcohol if you have those habits
4. eat and sleep healthy .
though you will find the results slowly your health will improve.
hope this is helpful to you.
regards
