How can I lower myBlood Pressure without Medication??

Question

I have high blood pressure PURELY because of genetics. I am a little underweight, do cardio exercise 5-6 days a week, and eat extremely healthy.

My blood pressure has ranged from 130-138/80-90. My doctor only said to limit my salt intake. I never eat much sodium, but I counted it anyways.

I found out I was eating about 2,000 mg (still under average) but I lowered it anyways. I have been eating under 1200 mg daily for the past 3 months. Still no change in blood pressure.

Should I go on medication or are there other things I can try??

My father died had extremely high blood pressure that was not completely controlled with medication. He died of a heart attack at the age of 39. I am worried for myself.

Answer 1

Meditate.

Answer 2

Try walking 4 miles a day if this doesn't work go on medication.

  Don't leave it too long it could be serious.

Answer 3

Foods high with potassium really helps.

Dried apricots is my favorite.  I am also on a water pill for my blood pressure.  I don't exercise, so foods high in potassium do make a difference.
