How Can I Lower My BP Without Taking The Pills ?
How can I lower my blood pressure without taking the pills? I have really high blood pressure, and I was taking Lotensin, but I just hate taking pills and stuff so I quit taking it. I know that I need to lose weight and quit smoking and that will help. Besides that, how can I lower my bp ?

Unfortunately once the disease of hypertension is established generally it is not possible to control your blood pressure without medication.
However being no more than your ideal weight, doing regular,vigorous exercise for ever, and reducing your salt intake may contribute to lowering BP.
