Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would like to tell you that obesity is the common cause of developing hypertension and to treat hypertension without medication is to cut the fat and good physical activity.

Kindly follow the followings lifestyle modifications for 3 month to maintain a good blood pressure,
1. Take low salt diet
2. Avoid fried and Junk food
3. Fibre rich diet
4. Stop smoking/ Alcohol
5. Physical activity for 40 min 5 days a week.

if this doesn't help much then you have to start with anti-hypertensive drug to prevent associated complications of high blood pressure.

I hope this information will answer your query.

Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
