I have had BP problems on-n-off for 8 yrs, I'm 67, over weight, lots of arthritis that limits my mobility..

So, I'll give you what works for me.

DIET: (TS and the other epicureans will get sick reading this, maybe not)

No processed foods
Limit restaurants to twice time a month, or less
Tell you friends not to salt the shiite out of their food when you're invited over
Beau-coup Fresh or Fresh frozen GREEN Veggies
No sauces or casseroles
hi-fiber carbs, beans, breads, starches.
Drink H2O (pint+) with all meals
Read the food labels, there is salt in everything
Start adding un-flavored fiber to drinks & meals, keeping the pipes flowing is good, Capish?

Until you have good numbers:

Drop all caffeine drinks, and don't sub with de-caf
Drop all Whisky, Beer, & Wine

Drugs: DO NOT 2ND GUESS YOUR DOC's.. Take exactly what your Doc prescribes, not more or less, and don't screw with timing. Don't wait weeks for the next visit to tell him you are having problems with a new prescription.

God bless'm, but some Doc's do drugs like a 13A canon cocker, load'm up and fire for effect. It took me almost 4 months to work out a scrip regiment that worked and didn't have a bunch of side affects. It is still a science...

And this still may not work..

A cardiologist and vascular specialist can help determine if your BP is ischemic based and you need a chopper..

Scarey?? You bet you sweet ass it is,, but most everything can be reversed and fixed if caught in time..

Prayers Out, Good Luck..
