How can I fix high blood pressure without medications?
To fix blood pressure without medications, you need to change lifestyle: exercise at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoid salty foods and definitely dont add salt to your food. If high blood pressure runs in your family, just these lifestyle modifications might not be enough, and your doctor may still need to put you on medications. However, the number of medications you take will be affected by what you do, so keep up with the exercising and try not to eat any salt.

What drinks to avoid with high blood pressure?
Im general when you have high blood pressure you want to avoid drinks with too much caffeine. Drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day should be the limit. You should avoid energy drinks. Other drinks to limit are the mixed drinks with salt, as too much salt can raise the blood pressure.

Will you wake up if you have a heart attack?

Can a child get an ECG?
Yes. He should be able to through his pediatrician. READ MORE
Will my stress cause me to have a heart attack?
The hypertension itself is not likely to cause a heart attack, but the stress (both from work and from the high blood pressure) is not good for your heart. You are at risk to have a heart attack from the elevated pressures in your heart. This is different than a heart attack where your artery closes down. So, bottom line, you want to get your blood pressure under control. If you can reduce the stress at work, that would be best, but we all know that is hard to do. READ MORE
I have blockages even after my bypass. Will I require another bypass?
It depends on where your blockages are. If they are at spots that have not been bypassed (meaning before the place where the bypass graft was placed) you may need stents to open them up. READ MORE
