Does drinking warm water helps in hypertension, what are the home remedies to keep bp in control and does the automatic machines reading are treatable?

Question

Hi lybrate-user, I am not aware of any relation of warm water with hypertension. Home remedies: Keep your salt intake lowest possible, stay away from sugar or sugary products, regular exercise, and shed few kilos if you have extra. Automatic machines are highly reliable if used appropriately. Make sure you put in appropriate batteries and that they are not towards the end of their life, machine sits flat on a hard surface, you are sitting with your hands rested on a platform (or lying down with your arm parallel to your body), cuff fits you nicely etc. Some of the machines come with a manual that lists all the good practices of blood pressure measurement. Take care.
