I’m a 21 year old female and my blood pressure is 153/100 which is actually lower than the last time I checked it. Going to a doctor is absolutely not a possibility so therefore I can’t get a prescription. If anyone could tell me other ways to lower it I would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

i heard that playing with pets helps lower blood pressure.
i feel sorry for you. im 22 and i think im having health problems too. I could talk to you in depth if you wanted to on yahoo messanger or you could email. i dont believe theres a easy answer to this one and it might be a rather serious issue.
A healthy diet can help. Check out this site:
Please don’t say going to a Dr is out of the question. Free or low cost health care and prescription drugs are available at virtually every County Health Dept in the country.
Go to walk early in the morning for an hour in a green park. Eat fatless food. Drink a lot of water. Putt off smoking if you are a smoker. Take a minimum of 7 hours sleep.
Above I learnt from my mother who is blood pressure patient too.
Cardio exercise and plenty of sleep are very important. Cardio is one of the best things you can do. Being overweight has a big impact too, so if you are overweight try getting that down.
I keep mine down naturally by taking 2 flaxseed oil and 2 fish oil supplements a day (one in the morning and one at night), an odorless garlic supplement, 50 mg of Coenzyme Q10, a calcium + vitamin D and a vitamin C, mixing in 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with my oatmeal in the morning, and drinking a carrot, apple, strawberry and banana smoothie in the afternoon. (I juice 2 carrots and an apple and then use a wand blender to blend in 1/2 banana and about 4 strawberries). Mine was about 157/99 at its highest and after doing this for a month it was basically down to normal.
Other things that are important are avoiding sugar and white flour (stick with whole grains and natural sweeteners like honey, stevia, xylitol or agave nectar) and avoiding too much salt, which is especially high in processed meats (lunch meat, bacon, etc.). Don’t cut it out completely, your body still needs salt, but do try to cut down. Beet Juice is also supposed to be one of the best things for blood pressure but I haven’t been able to stomach that.
Lowering your BP naturally is going to be much better than going on medication anyway because none of the things I mentioned above have side effects, and the prescription drugs do. Don’t expect to see dramatic results immediately, it could take a few months to go back to normal. Good luck!
to lower your blood pressure, you should stay away from salty foods, cut back on eating pork, also stay away from some fried foods…..
Exercise and diet.Ignoring the medicos is not being very responsible.
