Hi, This is Anand.
I am 39+ now. Recently 4 months back I got severe headache and visited to hospital. My BP shown 180/130. After this I did health check up and found Cholesterol >350 and B12 very low. I started medicines, diet, walk and now my cholesterol is within the limit and B12 also good. I am measuring BP now a days in home it is showing 140/100 to 130/90. BP measured by doctor is 130/90 and BP medicines going on now a days. My question - How I can come out of medicines and BP ?
Ans: Hello Anand. Controlling BP is a multipronged effort. If you are overweight, reduce weight to achieve a BMI of 23-24. Try and keep a good routine and diet with reduced salt intake. Exercise moderately about 45 min daily which should be mainly cardiovascular exercise and only 1-2 days of strength training. Try and adopt some stress busting measures like yoga, breathing exercises, developing a hobby etc. Ensure good 7-8 hours of good quality sleep every day.
