Thanks in advance for your helpful comments

lalasticlala isn't this guy the youngest HBP patient u know? God heal u ASAP

Forget about that gal and move on.

You have done the proper thing by consulting the cardiologist. What you should do in your next visit is ask how long you have to remain on drugs and of course lifestyle alternative.
Most importantly, pray about it and exercise you faith. God heals.

If you are already on medication and your BP still hovers around 150/90 to 160/100, these medicines are not working and need to be reevaluated. If your doctor has not taken this step yet then you should by talking to him about it. Also when you say no family history of hypertension how sure are you. That your parents don't have this diagnosis does not mean you have zero family history of hypertension. How about your relatives, aunts, uncles, grandparents. You should do a thorough family history background first. Another thing is to take one day at a time. Take your medicine and don't think of when you will stop, you just might need to take anti hypertensive meds for the rest of your life to control your BP. It's not the end of the world. Don't be checking your BP frantically all the time, you'll simply worry yourself and your BP will definitely rise. Good luck

Nairaland wont give you better help than your cardiologist. I am sure you hve not exhausted all the tests he requested: Echocardiography, Ecg, hormone tests and tests for pheochromocytoma. They are expensive, but no easier way around getting your answers.

Hypertension at your age usually signifies hidden other medical issues

Exercise more.

Presently I'm not financially buoyant to carry out any of the aforementioned test. I started using drugs 3 months ago

You are underweight and that might be caused by kidney or thyroid or digestive issues

try eating more of raw garlic. three times a day for a week. see the diff after a week. also remember to eat good food and eat well while doing this for a week

Eliminate fat and oil from your diet,eat less salt,take cooking and calming foods like water melon,banana,cucumber ,green veggies and lots of water.
Pray
Do a comprehensive check on your kidneys.

PLS GO AND CHECK YOUR KIDNEYS

I was hypertensive too,as a matter of fact my Bp at some point was 200/95

And the doctor was going to place me on some chalk(drugs)

That was how my foray into natural medicine began

As at checking it this morning for this post it is 115/81

Pm me let's talk,my products are authentic and inexpensive

Even though you can't go off your drugs immediately cos they have been programmed to have adverse effect if you do ,you will be able to pan it out in time
