High blood pressure can have deadly consequences. Don't waste time trying to fix it by yourself. Make an appointment with a doctor today. The doctor may put you on medication. Then, if you want to get off the medication, you can try losing weight, etc., but do that under a doctor's supervision.

The type and amount of medication depends on whether it's your systolic or diastolic pressure that's high, and how high it is, and your weight, and maybe some other factors I'm not aware of.

I take medicine for high blood pressure daily. It's no big deal. But heart attack or stroke IS a big deal.
