Changes not helping to lower blood pressure

Posted By Amanda (Fl) on 06/05/2012

I'm only 25 years old and have discovered while donating blood that I've recently developed hypertension and have been monitoring it at home. For the last month I have been drinking 1Tbs of apple cider vinegar with 8oz of water 3x daily. It has had no effect on my BP. I have also lost 15lbs (although I wasn't even very overweight to begin with) and completely changed my diet to match what they refer to as the DASH diet. Also, I should add I only drink one cup of coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. I'm desperate to lower my BP before I end up on meds the rest of my life. Any suggestions?

to lower blood pressure, try some hawthorn berries, green tea, alpha lipoeic acid, lecithin. Brought husband's BP down and mine also. Hawthorn is an amazing heart herb. If there is blockage, it will naturally expand arteries for blood flow.
