HTN: Decrease your salt intake, exercise, lose weight, stop smoking. If this is not enough then you might need some medications. Depending on how high it is, you might even be prescribed medications at the same time with lifestyle modifications

RESTRICT SALT: The one most important thing we can do to lower our blood pressure without medication is REDUCING our sodium input. This means salty foods themselves not JUST from the salt shaker. Your Primary Care Provider can give you a 2 GM sodium diet> Hope this helps Dr Z
