History a factor: Part of why docs differ is to do w/the individual history of the person and his/her needs. Mild to moderate elevated BP can respond well to herbert bensobn's relaxation respose (see book) or seven flowers extract (chinnese medicine). Please check w/your doc about these items. Peace and good health.
