Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Let me know details like your Blood pressure readings, any investigations done, medicines and their doses tried.

Lifestyle measures should be tried like:
1) try maintaining blood pressure systolic (upper) under 140 and diastolic (lower) under 90mm hg with lifestyle and medication
once daily medication and combinations with additive action would be better to avoid fluctuations
2) if overweight, losing weight should be a priority, try achieving Body mass index less than 25.
3) 40-45 mins of aerobic exercise daily
4) be regular with your life, don't skip meals, sleep and exercise regimes
5) in diet -low salt. XXXXXXX 3 gms a day. - avoid preserved food as all preservatives have salt. - no pickles, papads, chips, farlam as all have hill salt and. - atleast 2 serving of fresh fruits in a day. - 1 serving 35-40 gms of nuts like walnuts, almond to be included - if you take fish 2 serving of fatty fish per will like salmon. -avoid red meat, egg yellow, fried and spicy oily food - may shift to better oils like olive in cooking

To monitor the efficacy of treatment and predict ill effects of hypertension every 2 yearly treadmill stress test for heart, urine microalbumin and check up of your eyes for retinopathy for any ill effect of hypertension on your body.

I hope with a regular lifestyle and healthy diet and with appropriate medicine Good control will be achieved.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
