diet, exercise, no salt
Are you overweight, do you smoke, is your diet good, do you exercise? All questions that need addressing before you can think about changing your medication.
Treat the cause, not the symptoms.
First High Blood pressure is a condition, once occured, stays with you all your life. There is no alternative to the medicines but there are ways to supplement the effects of the drug and probably decrease the dose you are currently taking. However there is no way you can quit medicines. The effects of quiting the medicine will be more grave then the side effects of your current medicine.
First, excercise regularly atleast 30 min a day. It can be brisk walking or climbing up stairs. These have proved very helpful in long term blood pressure control.
Second, avoid salt as much as possible.
Third, have a positive attitude towards life and towards your blood pressure. Smile and make others smile.
Try to bypass anxiety, tension, anger etc. They do raise the blood pressure instantly.
If your current drug gives you side effects that really concern you then try consulting your doctor for a different drug that might suite you better.
Good Luck.
High blood pressure is, therefore, best treated without drugs. If we consider the fact that in this condition, the circulation is working too hard to nourish the cells, then it seems reasonable that some of the causes include excess weight, electrolyte imbalances, lack of exercise, fluid overload (due to poor kidney function), stress and fatty-acid imbalances. The last cause usually involves deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids and too much trans fat in the diet. These trans fats replace saturated fats in the cell walls with the result that they become too stiff.
