Follow your Dr's: Advice. Losing weight., cutting down on salt intake, cutting down on ibuprofen, regular exercise may help lower the BP (ideally lower than 130/80). Take care! http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=16109. http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/herbsvitaminsek/a/hypertension.htm.
