Get physician advice: Low salt diet, weight loss and aerobic exercise all help hypertension. Cut back on alcohol and avoid BP increasing drugs like stimulants, nsaids, decongestants and steroids. Most people also need drug therapy. The choice of drug(s) depends on patient characteristics like presence or absence of age, heart disease, diabetes, kidney damage, asthma/copd, osteoporosis and others.
