Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which needs only lifestyle solution and education about the disease and never ever medication. Identify the trigger causing BP and fix it naturally with no medicines involved. BP medicines can cause complications you should be aware of it. Read about it first before you take them. Do not get misguided. Your doctor is never going to talk about this .Always question your doctor about medication otherwise you will be the loser. Reversible causes of BP like Mineral, Vitamin deficiency, Thyroid disease ,Stress etc needs to be treated which will cure your high BP Doctors lack, nutrition knowledge, have vested monetary interests and do incomplete lab testing and do not offer natural solutions.
