eat more potassium rich foods, like raisins, canteloupe and potato skins. potassium is natures natural blood pressure controller.
Would also recommend you pick up a book that is well worth reading…NO More Heart Disease by Dr. Louis J. Ignarro, some amazing information that will keep you heart healthy and without need for any medications for blood pressure.
God be with you. I’m completely unlike you, my pressure gets low !! Sorry, have no tips for you or even for me, i just eat and act so normal and when it comes to the low pressure, i try to sleep or relax a bit.
I’m sorry to hear that Bear.
Gee.. 140/110 is scary..
You need to reconsider your ‘lifestyle’ maybe..
Are you active? Do you do sports? 1 hour/day is good. 1 hour fast walk is excellent. Doesn’t matter what time or which part of the day as long as it is 2-3 hours before your sleep time.
Are you wise with your food intake? You don’t need to do the extreme. Eat balanced diet and in moderation.. not almost zero in everything..
Do you get enough night sleep? (No more sleep at 4 AM, please, even though you may get up at 12. It’s better to sleep early and get up early.)
Do you get enough rest? Given you are on a roster, you need to follow a sleep schedule. Make a schedule and follow it…strictly.
Are you in a stressful environment? Do some meditation. Give you plenty of time to relax.
Do you smoke? Say good bye to your ciggies.
Do you drink alcohol? Clean up your wine shelf.. 1 drink or 2 per week won’t hurt actually.. )
Cheer up.. Feeling pretty down won’t help. Having hope for future is important, but the most important is to live for today and enjoy the moment.

So sorry to hear that! I hope you feel better.
Perhaps you should do more meditation over the next week.
Miss you.

Go on an organic diet, take garlic, cheyanne, vit e. Go out and do fast walking as often as possible. These work!

I have high BP also, cut back on the salt, exercise and
see if your Dr can change the medication.
The old-fashioned and cheap water pill diuretic has seemed to help me.

Your diastolic of 100 is much worse than your systolic of 140.
Garlic will help to reduce your blood pressure and is particularly good for reducing diastolic pressure.
