I originally was on blood pressure medication when my son passed 10 yrs ago then they just left me on it. I had a hip replacement in March and my pressure was very low so they took me off my meds. I was going to the gym and so my pressure was excellent. now I haven't been to the gym but was on this diet where I was eating bacon everyday well there went my pressure 150/74. 144/69 145/75 161/81 143/74 139/70 this has been the last 2 weeks should I call my internist I just had a physical on Dec 3 my pressure was 129/72.

1. If going for ECHO, just ask for Baseline investigations like Lipid- Blood sugar Thyroid Profile and urine for microalbuminuria for any underlying cardiovascular risk factor for blood pressure.
2. Since blood pressure measurements are fluctuating, so ask for ultrasonography of adrenal glands.
3. Since on low salt diet thus five step approach to the disease is:

i. Exercise: brisk walk for 45 minutes every day, at least 5 days a week along with Yogasanas and Pranayama. avoid complicated ones]
ii. Stress Management: Meditation for 15 minutes everyday [positive thinking] with relaxed mind.
iii. Low fat Diet:
. Avoid saturated oils [coconut oil, dalda, butter,ghee, cream] instead use monosaturated oils [olive oil] or polyunsaturated oils [sunflower, corn oil]
. Avoid all deep fried foods, unskimmed milk, and meat.
. Increase fibre intake i.e. leafy vegetables, salads, fruits, pulses and legumes.
. Use skimmed milk or double toned low fat milk.
iv. elimination of known risk factors: Smoking, Weight reduction [if overweight], high blood sugar, mental strains
v. Drugs: Since Hypertension is one example of Psychosomatic Disease, thus treatment of Mind is essential before addressing physical symptoms, thus you can take prescription medicines like: Prabodh Vati, Sarpagandhaghan vati, Brahmi Vati, Tablet Mentat, Ashwagandha Arishta for the same, and Arjuna Artishta, Mukta Vati for high blood pressure.

PS. You can start practicing following natural home remedies:
. Add 1 spoon smashed fenugreek seeds and boil in 4 cups of water, till 1 cup remains. Filter it and add 4 spoons honey and drink for 1 month.
. Mix 1 spoon long pepper powder and 1 spoon jaggery and eat daily for 1 month.
. Add 1/2 spoon roasted turmeric powder to 1 coconut water, also add 1 spoon ghee and drink it daily for 1 month [heart ache due to blood pressure reduces]
