Are There Any Alternative Treatments For High BP Apart From Modern Medicine?

I am on high blood pressure meds. I want to stop taking them. I take 60mg Isosorb Mono, Amlodipine Besylate 10mg, and Losartan Potassium 50 mg. I was taking the Hydro-something and it gave me pancreatitis. I believe I was just stressed out when I was first diagnosis with high blood pressure. I asked the doctor to give me two weeks, and I would get my pressure down. He said no. I should have listened to that inner voice. Now, I have an enlarged heart, damaged kidneys, and an enlarged liver. I did not have any of that before. I am too tired to exercise like I used to. I would have gotten it down on my own. When I try to stop taking the meds, I swell up. Tell me what to do. My heart now beats so fast and loud, I feel like these blood pressure meds are going to kill me. I do not want to hear talk to your doctor. I want to hear how to stop taking them. I have gained so much weight. And my stomach is swollen since the pancreatitis like I am pregnant. It was not like that before. I look 20 years older. My daughter s friend cried when she saw me. Help me. I want off this crap!!
