Quit the salt, loose weight, take exercise and take the meds the doc gives you but most importantly change your thinking from "ooh this is bad I must change it or I'll be really ill one day" to "does this really matter? this is the way it is and doing the right thing will change it or if it dosn't who cares!" Now I'm not saying that I don't care 'cos I do but if you can loose some of the stress and greif that you are giving yourself over the problem the problem will sort itself out. So quit fretting girl and just get on with the day to day running of your life. (I also have BP problem and am cool about it which is helping believe me)
