lifestyle modification including low salt intake could address early diagnosed hypertension but if it is constantly elevated despite a good diet, weight loss, and exercise, you need to seek medical treatment.
Depending on how high your blood pressure is, you may need medication. We use many factors to determine if a patient needs medication prior to starting it. Keeping a blood pressure log morning and night for your doctor is a helpful tool. Maintaining a healthy weight, a low salt diet and managing stress can help keep blood pressure down.
