How to lower blood pressure?

Hello Martina,
If you suspect you have high bolod pressure, I would suggest you consult your physician and have it checked.

Sincerely,

Hi Martina,

I assume that you are under a physician’s care.

Things usually recommended are trying to lose weight if applicable and engaging in regular aerobic activity. There are also dietary recommendation called the DASH diet, and here is a link with more information http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/new_dash.pdf. This information is issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

I wish you good health.

Please get a checkup form your doctor to uncover the underlying reasons before attempting to figure it out on your own
There are many reasons for high blood pressure

Sit down! It will be instantly lower for a second…Ah ha ha, then probably even higher… okay I’m giving myself a thumbs down.

I’m not a doctor so this isn’t professional advice.

High blood pressure can be caused by too much viscosity of the blood or too much constriction of the vessels. (and a bunch of other things so this is very generally speaking) Vasodialation can ease constriction while allowing overly viscous blood to impact the heart quite negatively (i.e. clots); while decreasing sodium can decrease viscosity but may also speed up blood flow causing the pressure to raise. Without a proper diagnosis from a trained doctor, most here will not be able to offer much advice within their scope of practice more than what a typical Google search can provide.
Some helpful Google sites I have found:
