Hi doctor,
I am a 43-year-old female, and I am a little overweight. I have never had any physical problems, but recently I have been diagnosed with hypertension. I do not like allopathic medicine, and I am tensed about the long-term side effects. Kindly suggest any natural treatment for hypertension.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
I suggest you follow some measures to control BP (blood pressure). They are as follows:
Avoid smoking and other addictions.
Reduce salt intake in your diet.
Reduce fatty foods, junk foods, and saturated fats.
Avoid stress and anxiety.
Do regular to moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes.
Have a proper night's sleep. Ensure that you sleep for at least eight hours per 24 hours, which includes at least six hours of uninterrupted sleep at night.
Reduce your weight even if it is within the normal range.
Drink plenty of water.
Do deep breathing exercises and meditation.
Measure your BP while you are relaxed. Sit for five minutes in a quiet room without talking to anyone. Empty your bowel and bladder before checking your BP. Avoid drinking tea or coffee 30 minutes before checking your BP. Sit on the chair with your feet on the ground, back supported, hand supported on a table, and ensure that the cuff is at the heart's position. Check the BP and repeat the same after five minutes. Then, check the BP in the other arm and repeat the same after five minutes. During the entire period, remain relaxed and quiet. The arm with a higher BP reading is your BP. You may take at least two or more readings; and an average of readings is your actual BP.
I hope this helps. Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
