    High Blood Pressure

    I currently take several medications for high blood pressure.  Recently, my blood pressure started to spike and I am unable to control it.  I have been too the doctor, he has changed some of my medications and given me new medications.  But, nothing seems to work to get my blood pressure under control.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yes, try removing salt from your diet as much as possible. You would be shocked at the foods that carry large amounts

    of sodium. Also, cut back on red meat,sodas,soy sauce,tv dinners. Just try to see if you can tell the difference.

    have you tried exercising....the weather is so nice these days....maybe 30 minutes of walking or 15 minutes during the day and 15 minutes in the early evening will help.....or maybe yoga?

    whardwick,

     Thank you for your suggestions.  I never add salt to my food, but I have not been religious about checking the contents of salt when grocery shopping.  Thanks again.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I have been told I should exercise more and I am now convinced this is what I need to do.  Thanks again!
