Hello there!
Thank you for asking. If you want your blood pressure to reduce modify lifestyle, reduce stress, increase excercise, Increase vegetables and fruits, do psychotherapy sessions, reduce salt intake less than 2 gm a day. if BP still shoots up start amlodipine 5 mg,. take some anxiety counseling from a psychiatrist.
Modify your life style before its too late

Hi thanks for your question.
The commonest form of hypertension that is high blood pressure is primary. The primary hypertension is idiopathic that is cause is not known to medical science till date. Stresses, anxiety, sedentary life style, high intake of salt are precipitating factors. The second form of hypertension that is high blood pressure is secondary hypertension, Secondary hypertension has many causes. Most of them have their origin either in kidneys, heart or adrenals (small glands above kidneys).Your all tests are normal. This means you have been fully investigated to rule out any secondary causes of hypertension. There is nothing to worry. Relax as stress and tension aggravates the blood pressure and makes it difficult to control. Go for life style modification that is healthy diet containing less fat and salt with daily exercise. This along with decrease tension and stress will help you to control your blood pressure. I would suggest you to remain under constant follow up of a physician who will monitor you blood pressure and may prescribe you drugs for high blood pressure depending upon its severity.
Hope this answers your question.
