Help With High Blood Pressure Please Help Me!?

[lowertheboom]

I am teetering on HBP. I am at the high end of what my doctor will go for but stated that if I don't get it under control soon, he will start me on blood pressure medication. I really don't wanna go that route but everything else I do is not working. Can anyone help me out in this situation. What should I eat? I also ordered the P90X workout system too!........PLEASE NO ADVERTISERS! I WILL REPORT YOUR ASS!!!Here's what you know about me:African American Male30YO509 192lbsFather and grandfather has/had HBP.I am so worried cuz I heard that once you start that, you can't come off of it and my dad takes alot of pills.****also add to that , I work in a 911 center and dispatch police, so I work at a really high stressed job.

Well, eating a healthy diet is a good start. I would say that at 5'9 192 you are probably overweight by around 20 lbs. So, losing 20 pounds would probably make some difference. Did you ask your doctor what the underlying cause of the high BP is?
