First of all let me reassure you that you need not panic at hearing that your BP is high.You have to consult a general physician and seek his advice.You should stick to a DASH diet which means that you should consume plenty of greeen leafy vegetables and fresh fruits including berries.You must do light aerobic exercises regularly for 30 minutes a day,5 days a week.You have to stick to your medicines whatever your physician prescibes for you and you have to report immediately to your doctor if any side-effect so emerges.Your doctor might order a few blood tests and an ECG.Get them done immediately and be cheerful always as before.View Thread

Please do not be nervous.There is also an entity called white coat hypertension,that is you show a high BP when you go to a doctor and get your BP measured.Take another measurement and if it is high then consult a doctor and you have also to get your life style altered.
