It is possible to lower blood pressure by making lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction. I am an advocate for lifestyle changes before medication. Talk with your doctor and ask him/her what you can try before the medication. Your blood pressure may be dangerously high so medication is necessary.
By eating at least 2 cloves of garlic a day and avoiding onions, you can lower your blood pressure, but have it closely monitored by a doctor and do not go off your medication without advice from your doctor. If you have a weight problem I suggest losing some by simple natural methods by including in your diet the foods that make you lose weight and lower cholesterol. Doing lots of strenuous exercise is not advisable for weight-loss while you have high blood pressure.

What are the tips to prevent high blood pressure?
There are several medications that can be used to lower high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. These include: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors: These medications work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload of the heart. Examples include captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs): These medications also work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload of the heart. Examples include losartan and valsartan. Beta blockers: These medications work by blocking the effects of the hormone adrenaline, which can raise blood pressure. Examples include propranolol and metoprolol. Calcium channel blockers: These medications work by relaxing the muscles of the blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Examples include amlodipine and verapamil. Diuretics: These medications work by removing excess fluid from the body, which can help to lower blood pressure. Examples include hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide. It is important to take blood pressure medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking them without discussing it with your doctor first, as suddenly stopping certain medications can cause significant problems. /ɒ||ɒʜɒdʞᴎɒɿꟻ/880/ɿibɘɿ/moɔ.ɘɿoƚꙅiǫib.www//:ꙅqƚƚʜ
Hi Jeanne-the amount?
Hi Jeanne-the amount of blood pressure medications and the specific combination prescribed is based upon multiple factors. These include coexisting medical problems, other medications and potential interactions, severity of the high blood pressure, response to blood pressure medications, and side effects. Sometimes, several medications may be necessary to control high blood pressure-this might be because one medication didn't work well enough or perhaps due to a side effect or difficulty tolerating the medication. In your case, you are on three medications for blood pressure (labetalol, doxazoxin, amlodipine) and a diuretic (spironolactone). Diuretics are sometimes used for blood pressure, and the blood pressure medications you are taking are of three separate classes, which is appropriate, but I can't say much more about the specifics. Your doctor has chosen your specific combination of medications taking into consideration all the factors I mentioned above. The other medicines (Zettia, lexapro, and vitamin D), do not treat high blood pressure. Your doctor can explain his or her reasoning for the prescribed blood pressure regimen.
Can blood pressure medications be taken as a PRN?
Most blood pressure medications are taken as a preventive method or for controlling the rise of blood pressure. In light of this, a pro re nata (PRN) order from your doctor or cardiologist is unlikely. However, if the medication is for controlling acute systems of blood pressure, it is usually used pro re nata.
What is the cause of low blood pressure?
