Hello,

Few lifestyle changes can help you in controlling and preventing the high blood pressure, even if you're taking blood pressure medication. 
Eat healthy foods. Consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish and low-fat dairy foods. Eat less saturated fat and trans fat.
Decrease the salt in your diet. So, avoid eating processed foods, such as canned soups or frozen dinners which contains extra salt in it.
Keeping a healthy weight, or losing weight if you're overweight or obese, can help you control your high blood pressure and lower your risk of related health problems. 
Increase physical activity which can help lowering your blood pressure, manage stress, reduce your risk of several health problems.
Get indulged in regular exercising (if your doctor allows you).
Limit alcohol. Even if you're healthy, alcohol can raise your blood pressure. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
Don't smoke. Tobacco injures blood vessel walls and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries. 
Reduce stress as much as possible. Practice healthy coping techniques, such as muscle relaxation, deep breathing or meditation. Getting regular physical activity and plenty of sleep can help, too.
Monitor your blood pressure at home.

Medication:
Take Schwabe’s Essentia Aurea/ thrice daily which is a cardio-tonic which helps in maintaining blood pressure, improves muscle tone of the heart and narrowing of blood vessels.

For insomnia:
Here are five tips everyone can use to help improve the quality of their sleep:
Keep your bedroom cool and dark
Put away/turn off all electronic devices while preparing for bedtime
Stick to a regular bedtime and wake time every day, even on weekends
Stop drinking caffeine by the early afternoon and avoid large late-night meals
Skip the late-afternoon nap, as it can make it harder to sleep at bedtime
Avoid taking unnecessary stress/ tension. 
Do regular exercise.
Go for a brisk walk in the morning.

Medication:
Take Schwabe's Bacopa Monierri 1x/ thrice daily and Kali Phos./ once daily at night for 1month.

For weight reduction:
Go through the following guidelines and implement them in your routine:

Management:
1: Drink plenty of water (at least 2-3 l/d) or other calorie-free beverages.
2: Be choosy about nighttime snacks.
3: Enjoy your favorite foods.
4: Have 6 meals per day - 3 main courses and 3 snack meals (snack meals should be healthy).
5: Do regular exercises daily (start with light and later may be little vigorous) . Exercise decreases the stress hormone in your body, burns calories and also increases the blood circulation. Preferably brisk walking, swimming, cycling, skipping.
6: Eat seasonal fruits. Fruit helps to satisfy your sweet tooth thanks to its natural sugars, while fresh vegetables help you fill up more quickly. Fruits and vegetables contain fiber to help you feel full quickly.
7: Eat more whole grains and cut simple carbs. Whole wheat bread, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, sweet potato, and brown rice are all excellent sources of energy and sources of nutrition.
8: Choose lean proteins instead of fatty ones.
9: Cut the salt from your diet. Eating more sodium causes your body to retain water, which can cause you to feel bloated and gain more weight.
10: Don't skip meals.When you skip meals, your body stops breaking down fat and starts breaking down muscle tissue. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than other tissues, so you're actually working against your goals
11: Eat at home. Going out to eat makes it too easy to cheat. Food sold at restaurants is commonly much higher in fat, sodium, and other weight-loss killers.
12: Give yourself a treat now and then. If you're attending a party or going out for a special occasion, allow yourself an indulgence. Just make sure that these indulgences don't become daily habits.
13: Go for a health walk. Gear up yourself daily for a health walk which not only shed off your extra calorie, but also reduces the stress levels. 
14: Take small frequent breaks for a quick walk in between as sitting for long hours together encourages the accumulation of fat in the body!

Medication:
Start taking Schwabe's Phytolacca Berry tablets/ thrice daily 1/2 an hr before the meals for 1 month. Thereafter revert me back for further guidance.
