Can The BP Be Lowered In Two Months?

                                                                 Hi, 36 and had an annual healthcare check today only to find out my BP is 160/95, rather than continue the check I decided to stop it and come back in 2 months. I have had an unhealthy month up till now (poor diet and to much alcohol) and figured with a strict diet, no alcohol and moderate exercise I should be able to get it down to a healthier level over the two months - is this possible?

Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yea sedentary lifestyle can lead to hypertension or diabetes in young age. If your lifestyle is also sedentary then I would recommend you for lifestyle modifications which include:
1. No junk/fried food,
2. Low dietary salt,
3. Daily physical activity for 45 min 5 days a week,
4. DASH diet.

Follow good lifestyle habits and keep checking your blood pressure at home and then reconsult your physician in 3 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
