Lybrate-user, start with a salt and calorie restricted diet. Do moderate activities for at least 30 minutes per day. Avoid junk food and excessive caffeinated /alcoholic drinks. Monitor your blood pressure on a daily basis. Also do tests for thyroid, sugar and cholesterol. Report back if blood pressure remains on the higher side.

Both are equally good depending upon usage. For home usage a digital monitor is better as people find it difficult to use a manual one. Things to keep in mind while using a digital monitor is that the cuff should be properly tied. - should not take reading repeatedly on the same arm as it will give varying results as the compression has already occured once. - should ask someone to tie the cuff for you. - note deviation only of your monitor if using regularly. Don't compare reading if two monitors.

Dear lybrate-user, You are young and should monitor all your health issues with a properly planned nutritious diet, exercise and life style. Begin Yoga and pranayama. With proper planning, at your age, BP can come under good control without medication and you can lead a normal happy life. Foods that will help: Green leafy vegs; Dahi/ curd/butter milk BEFORE food; pomegranate, beet, honey. Resist taking packaged foods of any kind and fried foods. Regards.
