My mom,80 years old,has high blood pressure for years. And she has high blood pressure recently which rises from 130 to 170 . Is it too high? She has this high blood pressure for a week despite she has taken the same amount of high blood pressure pills . I take her to see the doctor but the doctor didn’t increase the amount of pills . What can I do? Is there any kind of food that can lower her blood pressure? My mom eats very little meat or fish.Is it one of the reason for her illness? Recently her hip is painful and can’t go out.I took her to see the doctor and had taken x-ray but nothing wrong. Is it caused by her high blood pressure? Also she has taken the pills which will thin her blood.
Words can’t expession my gratitude to all of you. Thanks for the valuable answers !I would ask my mom to try and am going to buy the food which you all mentioned.
I know this sounds ridiculous. i’m 16 years old, and i think i have high blood pressure. only because whenever i just even do the smallest activity like walking up the stairs, i kinda lose my breath. and then when i run i feel like my heart’s going to explode and i can’t breathe. i’ve ran cross country and track for two years already too.. do i have high blood pressure? if so, what can i do?
My dad has been suffering from high blood pressure for about a year now. He is at low risk for heart attack because he is very healthy, swimming at the gym every morning 5 days a week (although I’m not sure how good the genetics are). He has noticed just recently that the higher his heart rate is, the lower his blood pressure is. I’m guessing this has something to do with the physiological mechanism behind blood pressure and heart rate, so any additional information about that would be welcome.
I’m so confused on what kinds of foods are the best to eat for lowering blood pressure! Friends have said not to eat any fruits at all because of the natural sugar they contain! However when I look at articles online they seem to advocate eating lots of fruit! With taking practically all the salt out of our diet and having to eliminate so many things it’s hard to tell what a person with high blood pressure can eat!
Please help!
Thanks
i have not been officially diagnosed with high blood pressure but i’m on the road to it. I know i eat too much salt, i add it to a lot of foods and pretzels are my favorite snack. I exercise for 2 hours every day, but it doesn’t help me that i’m overweight. i eat lots of garlic, it’s one of my favorite foods on its own.

My aunt suffers from high blood pressure. Today, however, her blood pressure dropped to 75/66. Should we be concerned?
What can be done to increase her blood pressure to a much healthier level?
My dad has high blood pressure and was prescribed some medication to lower it. He has to keep taking it for as long as his doctor tells him it’s ok to stop but his medication (Tarka) is pretty expensive and sometimes he can’t afford it so he just stops taking it. I worry that something might happen to him when he does this. Does anyone know where I can find Tarka for less (he currently pays for a 30 day supply of Tarka 2/240mg) or do you know of a natural way to lower blood pressure?

I have somewhat high blood pressure right on the edge of being stage one hypertension. I don’t want to take medication because A.) I don’t have insurance at the moment and B.) Blood pressure medication is bad for the liver.
So the question is: how can I lower my blood pressure without using medication? Thanks!
I heard and read about drug companies promoting their products for hypertension and bribing/influencing panels to lower standards for what is considered high blood pressure. These drugs have extreme side effects for some people. The older and cheaper diuretics are more effective for most people and have fewer serious side effects, but physicians are over prescribing the newer drugs.
Hypertension is a side effect not a disease. For most people is the result of lifestyle choices. Many people can prevent hypertension through diet, exercise, stress reduction, and other lifestyle choices.
For some people, drugs are important. For most people, a lifestyle choice would be better. For most people, the side effects of newer drugs are more harmful than the benefits. In many cases, life expectancy when using these drugs is reduced, despite what the honorable Dr. Oz (corporate sellout) claims.
What are your recommendations for lowering blood pressure through lifestyle changes?
My claims are supported by the book:

The DASH—Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension—diet was developed for a US government agency. Sadly, the US government has earned a reputation as being biased toward large corporations. I don’t trust a word of this study, especially the support of the dairy industry lobby. Dairy is not the best source of calcium. In addition, dairy in the US has genetically modified growth hormone and antibiotics.
