What is the best natural remedy for Hypertension?

Keine Kinder asked:


I am 40 and have Hypertension for no known reason.

For medication, the doctor gave me Diovian, and Norvasec. These seem to work well. I do get light headed sometimes after taking the Diovian.

Then he gave me the Toprol XL. I started suffering from heartburn; sensitivity to bright lights, and light headedness. I could not sleep (nightmares). I’d get random erections when I was just idling (while driving, or watching TV)

He reduced the Toprol XL, and things got a little more normal. I still could not sleep. So I started taking Melatonin (one when I got home, and one shortly before bed). I discovered my blood pressure went way down. Is this because I am sleeping better, or does the stuff really help my blood pressure?

Melatonin is really cheap. Today I just take Diovian, Norvasec, Melatonin, and B vitamins. I have pretty much normal blood pressure all the time. Once in a while it goes up
What works for you?

How long does it take to reduce your blood pressure numbers from high to normal?

arcticnyx asked:


I had high blood pressure about a year ago but managed to lose 50 pounds and lower my bp. I just moved and got out of the habit of my normal exercise routine. I went to the dr. this morning and my bp was 154/107. (yes, very high, I know) My doc wants me back in 2 weeks for another bp test. If I get back into a regular routine of walking 5 days a week again, can I drop my numbers in a couple weeks?
