Hypertension? -

My blood pressure readings in the last 3 months is 130/105, 135/88 and 138/98 respectively. At present i am not taking any allopathic medicine. Daily i wil go for brisk walk for 45 minutes and i will do pranayama. Do i have high blood pressure? Do i need to take BP medicine regularly? Is there any home remedy to lower blood pressure level?

Your diastolic readings are a little on the high side. This is when your heart is resting between beats so it s actually more worrying than your systolic (pumping) readings which are reasonably good. Keep up the walking, watch your diet and have your doctor check your blood pressure on a regular basis. Good luck!

Unfortunately, some families just have hypertension regardless of diet and exercise. In these cases, they generally need to go on medication. Now, you are right in grey area between a normal blood pressure (BP) and a hypertensive BP. You are what we call, quot;pre-hypertensionquot;. Some doctors treat this with medication, and some don t. Most at this time would recommend lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and weight loss. But you already do most of those. You didn t mention diet, though? How do you eat? Do you eat a lot of fast food? High sodium food? Start looking at your food labels and focusing on the sodium content. Try to reduce that daily if possible and get to the recommended daily allowance for sodium. If I were you, I would have a check up with a physician just to double check everything. Good luck.

Unfortunately you didn t mention your age amp; gender. You are not a heart patient nor you need any drug at this stage. But since your systolic is in bit higher side, to be in safe side you should have some investigations - Lipid Profile, to find the cause of this. It might be due to higher LDL or you got this from hereditary. Your daily walk and pranayama are very effective in this case. In addition you should maintain: no smoking/drinking, eat a lot of green veges/fruits, no red meat, in fact in one word - low calorie amp; low fat diet. Remember: exercise raise the HDL level amp; controlling stress amp; diet lower the LDL level.

well the ideal BP is 120/80..... No home remedy other than diet, exercise, no stressing etc About the medication...its hard to say on here...ur diastolic(second number) is high however BP changes.. is it your surgery that have been doing ur BP? as home machines tend to be less accurate than the good old fashioned method...also depends on ur general health... You should relaly speak to your doctor about it al i guess
