Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I took a nap earlier today and when I woke up I felt like my blood pressure was high....it was 123/92 heart beat 79. I made some peppermint tea with cayenne pepper and tumeric and it cam down to 107/80 heart 80. It has been fluctuating up and down I just checked it and it was 117/90 heart beat 80. How can keep the bottom number down?
Dear; Although there is two components of b.p systolic and diastolic. the upper range for systolic to be considered hypertension is 140 and range for diastolic is 90. In these terms u r not an hypertensive. As far as reduction is considered mild blood pressure can be well controlled by dietary modifications and life style changes only. U reduce ur salt content to minimal possible amount and also reduce fat content increase the fiber content in ur food and simplly a short 15 mins exercise daily twice is all u need to do. Keep a record of ur blood pressure ib ur notes. If u have gross fluctuations than visit a physician. Thanks Revert back for follow up.
