Anyone got any tips on best way to get it down? Been to the docs and they want to put me on tablets but I want to try and get it down naturally before I do that.
I'm 46 and probably drink about 40 to 50 units of alcohol a week which obviously doesn't help but I do get quite a lot of exercise. My diet isn't too bad. Never add.salt and I'm vegatarian. Thanks for all replies.
Ive been on blood pressure medication for 2 years now which is a kick in the teeth considering I'm in my 20s.
My advice, keep drinking to a minimum, don't smoke, make sure you eat healthy and organic foods (I know you said your diet is okay so hopefully you already do this).
Other than that make sure you exercise regularly, try to walk 10k steps everyday and reduce stress whenever possible.
Maybe go on a trail with your gp and have a checkup every 3 or 4 weeks whilst doing the above, if it lowers it then fantastic and keep it up, if not then go on the tablets until you find another solution.
