Question
pl intimate natural medicines and herbs, food for mild hypertension..age 46 weight 98 kg..also guide to control sudden rise in BP by immediateeffective steps
Hi Mr Katoria,
There are no alternaives to traditional medicine when it comes to managing chronic or acute hypertention. There are numerous medications available. The choice of medication depends on the risk factors and how high the blood pressure is. Usually medications have to accompanied with some lifestyle changes which include reducing weight, reducing salt intake, stopping amoking, reducing stress.
Often a diuretic is prescribed initially. If optimum blood pressure is not achieved with the diuretic then an ACE inhibitor is added or a beta blocker or a calcium channel blocker depending on risk factors.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
