My brother has been visiting our family doctor for the last 2 years for high bp. are there any lifestyle changes that he can make to lower his blood pressure?

Yes: There are many individuals with hypertension that consume too much alcohol, caffeine, and are more than 25 pounds overweight. Patients with hypertension should restrict salt, caffeine and alcohol. Also should be exercising at least 4 days per week and try and be at ideal body weight.
