Diet, Exercise, Meds: Depending on the severity - you might not need meds, but you need a dr to decide with you. In any case, maintain proper bmi, eat healthy non-salty foods in moderation, exercise and learn proper relaxing breathing patterns. These practices will address all of your conditions and since you are a prime suspect for cardio-vascular risk - they may protect you from bad trouble. Good luck.

Here's a list: Lifestyle treatment includes diet (low salt , low sugar, but include fruits and vegetables), regular exercise, weight control, stress management, avoid more than 1-2 drinks a day, and avoid smoking.. Next avoid pills that make BP worse like advil and aleve (naproxen). When BP meds are needed the usual drug classes used alone or in combination are diuretics, ace or arb, and calcium channel blockers.
