Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I tested at home and my bp is 144/109. 86 pulse. Is there anything natural I can do too to reduce this?(vitamins, herbs, foods) I work with a boss who yells illogically and plays head games. Then is nice and gives money. But can not quit. What are my options for natural care?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your blood pressure is high. A low salt diet is helpful to some extent to decrease blood pressure. Also check your cholesterol levels. If it is high then oily , fatty and junk foods should be avoided. Get 8 hours sleep daily. You can also do deep breathing exercises for relaxation of mind. Do exercises like brisk walking or jogging daily. These measures will help to reduce blood pressure. If that is not helping then you can start anti hypertensive medication in lower doses.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
