Hypertension is a condition that doesn’t usually announce its presence by signs or symptoms until it gets to an advanced stage, which may cause serious damage to the other internal organs. It can be successfully kept under control, which means that blood pressure is not difficult to lower. But in order to prevent some of its so feared complications, it is very important for it to be discovered in the initial phase, that of pre-hypertension.
Once the doctor has identified that imminent phase, there are some steps to take for the lowering of blood pressure. One of the most frequent recommendations made to the people in this situation is to have various life style changes. The medications work, but they are not sufficient, it also take the cooperation of the patient to keep blood pressure under a reach of a safe value, which will spare you a series of severe complications: stroke, kidney failure or heart attacks.
Even people at borderline pressure values, 85 to 90 mm Hg may have affected end organ. A very exposed to the cardiovascular problems category is that of people older than 65 which often have high diastolic blood pressure. So, it is very important for you to be cautious, to have your blood pressure read, and, in case you approach mentioned limits, visit the doctor in order to modify your treatment.
The adequate treatment plays also a vital part, together with the changes in a person’s lifestyle, in the battle against high blood pressure. Diagnosis in the initial stage, followed immediately by medication, will have a quick positive effect on your blood pressure. Depending on whether a person has diabetes (or other condition) or not, the most appropriate treatment scheme will be found and administered; for a diabetic, the chosen medicine will handle both of the conditions.

You need to start at least 24 hours in advance, NO SALT, not in food, not added, none. Read labels, many foods have hidden salt, called sodium on the label.
Giving up salt will help get rid of excess fluid, in some cases this may be enough.
Absoloutely no alcohol, no spicy foods.
You may be able to control your bp by giving up salt, if you are religious about it. Do understand, eventually you will probably have to take the meds.
However, did you know that high bp is a silent killer? Uncontrolled high blood pressure is responsible for
many deaths every year, in the form of aneurysms.
Blood vessels ‘explode’ and you die instantly.
Bite the bullet, go to the doc, take your meds. You will
feel so much better! Your quality of life will improve, and you will be assured of living much longer.
