What To Do When There Is High Blood Pressure ?

Yes please. My husband was put on diavan because his blood pressure was 148 over 82. He has been on a diet and lost about 25 pounds. Since he lost his weight he s been on the diet most days (nutrasystem), but now he snacks on crackers and potato chips. He gained about 7 pounds back and his blood pressure 168 over 94. what should we do?
