Hypertension is both a lifestyle and dietary disease which require only a lifestyle solution and dietary changes and does not need medicines. Do not believe blindly what your doctors say you have to take medicines lifelong They may have vested interests which ia already known to you. Detailed medical, dietary,occupational ,social, family,and environmental history taking is important to find the root cause. Reduce Salt, Reduce stress, Exercise daily-Sleep for 8 hours, reduce weight if you are over weight Has your Dr. done inflammatory panel tests, thyroid panel testing .Mineral and vitamin deficiency testing and their results. Get educated about the disease you have and question your doctor .You should have complete control over your health and not your Dr. Doctors are taught by pharma companies to medicate and get kickbacks for prescribing medicines Has your Dr. Excluded reversible causes of hypertension which when detected and treated completely reverses your BP So Get the Right tests done, so that you do not get bad surprises later. Get the Right Advice from the Right doctor who takes a detailed history and educates you before medicating you.
