why don't you try using relaxation techniques. when anyone is uptight, blood pressure rises! homeopathic remedies and herbal remedies need to be prescribed by a qualified therapist otherwise, off the shelf products don't work. a lso you could try hypnotherapy and learn the relaxation techniques there.

no dont give up your fun. but do try hypnotherapy. you say you have been told how to relax. that is on this level, you need to be shown whilst in hypnosis first. also the therapist can with your help and permission to see if there is a cause deep down inside causing your problem. believe me with the right approach it works.
There is plenty of advice via the internet, the main gist of which privides these tips:
* Don't smoke cigarettes or use any tobacco product.
* Lose weight if you're overweight.
* Exercise regularly.
* Eat a healthy diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables and is low in fat.
* Limit your sodium, alcohol and caffeine intake.
* Try relaxation techniques or biofeedback.

Hi Philtaz, I'm doing all that you suggest & hav been for sometime. A couple of my friends take Lisinopril to lower their BP & hav since been given stronger doses cos it ain't doing the trick so ya can't blame me for having a 'go' at Alternative suggestions! Maybe treating like-with-like isn't the answer but herbs seem to be a good alternative allegedly. By the way, my BP is about 144/84. Not bad for my age apparently.
