Suggest Methods To Lose Weight In High Blood Pressure Patients

I have been diagnosed a few years ago with high blood pressure, i am 40 and a single mother. I take candesartan and metoprolol. I eat quite well and reasonably healthy, but have increased weight over the past few years despite being active. I was always slim/ skinny up until recently and never really had an issue with my weight until now. I have tried exercising, but my adrenalin gets too high, which increases my blood pressure. How can i lose weight please?

Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that healthy eating and physical activity is the key to manage your weight. DASH diet can help you to loose weight and better control of high blood pressure, that includes more of low fat dairy product, more fruits, fish, whole grain cereal etc. You can also consult a Dietitian for a proper diet chart that can help you with weight management.

Kindly get your Thyroid Profile checked and consult with treating Physician.

Hope to have been Helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
