A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle change/med: Lifestyle change is the first step in treating high blood pressure. Weight loss, regular physical activity, alcohol and salt moderation, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables (dash diet) can all lower BP significantly. After this, medicines are very effective and required to get the blood pressure to a safe level.
