How can i lower my blood pressure quick? No medication!!!! please help me?

I don't know about quick without meds. But these will work: Find foods high in fiber- beans,legumes, whole grains, cereals. Eat apples and plenty of vegetables. Eat fish or take fish oil pills. Exercise- Cardiovascular 20-30 minutes at least 3-5 days a week. Lose some weight, as blood pressure is prone to be higher if you are heavier, because the heart has to pump blood to more tissues. Drink a couple cups of green tea- Decaf is better Limit caffeine intake

Lose some weight. Lower your salt intake. Don't allow your body to retain water--use caffiene as a dieuretic if you need to. Exercise regularly. Meditation (it's very effective). E-mail if you need help with that. Listen, your BP is NOT that high. Good health habits can get it down quickly. You're the best kind of patient to have, relatively healthy, young and interested in doing what's necessary to treat the condition. TX Mom Been on BP Med Lotensin w/HCT 8 years.

To lower your blood pressure, I would suggest you the followings: 1. Drink plenty of water 2. Reduce your salt intake 3. Extra vegetables and fruit. 4. Moderate physical exercise 5. Change your life style to be low profile and leave your perfectionist. 6. Lose some weight

Soft soothing music and relaxation for at least 15-20 minutes. It really does work.

my cousin lowered hers by eating oatmeal and cherrios a lot

Start eating oatmeal everyday but you also need to start walking every day but no strenuous exercises until you see improvement and everything levels out.... and I would get approval from the doctor who will know best what could happen if you aren't careful. Go to WalMart and buy the wrist blood pressure cuff (see first link) and start taking your BP every day so you can monitor whether there are any changes or not. Make sure you have been sitting for about 5 minutes and hold the cuff up about heart level ~ then do not move until it is finished. The results will be on the cuff window and you can save it on the monitor but I'd also suggest keeping a small notebook of the daily record so you can watch and compare each day. Just remember that if it doesn't come down and you aren't careful, you could have a stroke which could either paralyze you or kill you. Some people's bodies work against them and they have to get on meds like this at a young age and you may be one of them. You may not want to take medication but it's better than either of the alternatives for one so young. My grandfather had a stroke and suffered paraylsis on one side and couldn't talk and ended up spending the rest of his days in a nursing home. He couldn't feed himself and he couldn't bathe or dress himself. Just remember that by not treating it and getting it under control, you could easily end up with major heart problems at a very young age which can lead to medication or surgery in order to live. Good luck to you ~ hope all goes well

there is no quick fix for high blood pressure..many times there are no symptoms of high blood pressure, but the damage to your body is being done everyday you allow your BP to run high....in twenty years when you have heart disease or a stroke or kidney disease you will wish you would have taken care of your BP while in your 20's....all the above suggestions are good, but most times are not effective enough....do what your doctor suggests, like the medication, even losing just 10 pounds may drop your BP...then after 6 months or a year of the above lifestyle changes maybe your blood pressure will stay lower on its own and your doc can take you off of the meds...

I have always been able to manipulate my blood pressure - since I was shot in the thigh and the bullet tore thru the femeral artery, the two special forces guys I was with quickly appplied tornequits and direct pressure to the wound. With no Morphine and I was quickly on my way of going into shock, Sgt Stockhouse, "Short-Round" stuck his face in mine and proceeded to walk me into how to to selectively control my bleeding / blood pressure; - in like 2 minutes the wound in my leg went from gushing blood to a trickle. There was no "Picture a pond with leaves falling gently onto the mirror like surface". No time for that - not in the middle of a fire fight, What I do remember of that first experience with controlling my blood pressure was "Do what I say or you are going to die!" "Look at me! Focus on my face! Look at my Eyes! Do Not look away! Listen only to my voice! Block out all other sounds! See only my eyes & and hear only my voice! Concentrate! Feel your Heart beat and the tightness in your chest! Block out the pain! Focus on my voice! look in my eyes! Ok! Again! Focus on the tightness in your chest and your heart beat." " I want you to slow your heart beat & relax the tight ness of your chest. Pretend there is a valve infront of you - that controls both - by turning it counter clockwise you can slow your heart rate, bring down your blood pressure, and lower your pulse rate." "Start turning it with both hands - slow and steady, your mind is still clear, you can still hear my voice, and see my eyes, and undersdtandwhat I am saying to you. Good you are doing good. Keep turning the wheel of the valve down closing off the flow of blood to your slashed artery, racing heart, and lowering you blood pressure." "That's good now hold it there". . . and I did, - for 45 minutes until I got back to a MASH unit. I played with this new skill on & off for the next few years - mostly as a matter of relaxation & pain control technique, and then it became almost second nature as I developed Osteo Arthritis, (Chronic Degenerative Type), which has come to affect all of my joints to varying degrees, - fingers, spine, hips, shoulders, elbows, ankles, - etc. Since I turned 30 I have had my knees and hips replaced, my right wrist and hand fused, 3 back fusions, both shoulders operated on to remove calcium burs and repair rotator cuffs, and everyday is an ongoing battle. So "YES"- there is an effective, self-controlled non-drug way to controll you blood pressure, your pain levels, and your heart-beat rate - thur meditative mind control. This is not "mystical" or "Kabalism", or " magic"; it is simply a matter of having the intense will and concentration to make it happen for your self. If you want to pursue this further please contact me, and I willsee if I can't help you break thru, and taske control of your own sub-conscious to block pain, memory, and regulate body temp, heart rate, blood pressre, - and othe autonomic body functions.

Debbie ( TX MOM ) gave very good advice!!! I'm a nurse and I agree with her . 4 main things effect blood pressure. Stress, do what you can to relax diet, eat healthy and try to drop a few pounds but eating healthy is good even if you dont lose, watch salt intake all pre packaged foods are full of sodium.... Infection.... if you have an infection it will cause your blood pressure and blood sugar to be out of control. and last but not least PAIN. If you are in pain do what you cant to lower it. Pain alone will make your blood pressure to be elevated.
