What Is The Natural Method To Control Hypertension?
Hi Dr Gopi
I am on Avapro to control hypertension but it is not effective on its own and my doctor has given me norvasc to take as well. However, I am frightened to take it because I feel that if I want to stop one day it will give me dangerous rebound effect. All the drugs seem to have one kind of side effect or another and although I already have a fairly healthy lifestyle, don't drink alcohol or smoke and not over weight, I would like to use natural methods to eventually control it. I am 64 and weigh 54 kilos

i appreciate your concern sir,
i will advise you to control the high blood pressure in natural way.
Limit the amount of sodium (salt) you take daily. Aim for less than 1,500 mg per day.
Eat a heart-healthy diet. Include potassium and fiber, and drink plenty of water.
Stay at a healthy body weight. (as you are in normal weight )
Exercise regularly -- at least 30 minutes a day
Reduce stress.
You can also try meditation or yoga. studies shows practicing yoga will maintain blood pressure in normal range.
