Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes ?
The BP reading which u have mentioned is in pre hypertension range . what is ur wt.? BMI? any family history of heart disease?
in my opinion u require a lifestyle modification. do regular exercise and consume regular nutritional food. with exercise and low salt diet your blood pressure will remain in normal range..
as far as garlic is concerned , there are a lot of views . some use it for lipid lowering others for weight reduction. categorically speaking , i cant comment about it since i failed to find any published research article regarding that...
meanwhile stay calm
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
