Marco asked:


I am a bit over weight and I am trying to get a regime to cut down my intake of food but my BP has been consistently been hovering on 120/100 or 115/95. Doc’s prescribed medication but the thought that it’s life long is depressing..Any suggestions

      it doesnt have to be lifelong, but you will have to make changes to your lifestyle. it depends your age diet and smoking weight etc. if you smoke quit, eat a healthy diet and if you are overweight try to loose a little. and also relax! stress is also a big factor

      Many cases of hypertension have gone away by eating a good diet and losing weight. You should try that first for 3 months before starting the medications.
