Doctor has done his best as far as allopathic med is concerned. Bp should not fluctuate. However medicine may continue for life. If you adopt stress lessening pranayam, meditation etc, you ll be happier. Some herbal weight shedders will also help, but will be slow. Safe n side effects less.

Hye. Thanks for the query. For your height, your ideal weight is 55 to 57 kgs. Due to obesity you could land up with hypertention. Increase in blood pressure when exited or angry is normal but continued rise in blood pressure is not good. Get your blood pressure checked regularly to monitor it. You need to first look into your lifestyle ie diet, activity and stress levels in order to manage good health. There?s no overnight fix when it comes to healthy weight loss, but you can adjust your lifestyle to promote quick, natural weight loss for the benefit of your health and your appearance. Successful, long-term weight management needs to focus on more than the food you eat and the pounds you lose. It needs to focus on your overall health. Reshape your body and your lifestyle by adopting healthy habits and breaking unhealthy ones. Replace all processed foods in your diet with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meats, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds and seafood. Focus on the variety of whole, unprocessed foods you can eat instead of dwelling on the junk food you eliminated from your diet. Eat smaller portions at every meal and avoid going back for seconds. Take a smaller scoop of rice, half of a piece of chicken instead of a whole piece and one less egg in your morning omelet, for example. Make time for breakfast every morning. Eating breakfast helps prevent overeating and is a habit of people who successfully lose weight. Pack to-go meals instead of eating convenience foods when you?re not home. Store foods like chopped fruits and vegetables or cooked grains, legumes, eggs and meats in your refrigerator so you always have something to grab when you?re in a rush. Buy fresh vegetables and fruits from the grocery store if you forget to bring healthful food from home. When you can?t avoid dining at a restaurant, opt for a salad as a starter, and always ask for the dressing on the side. Clear soups, lean meats, seafood and grain-based dishes like roti, whole grain bread are other good choices. Exercise for 30 to 60 minutes at least three times per week to build muscle and burn more calories. Pilates, strength training, aerobics, swimming, dancing and yoga or a sport like football are ideal choices. If you?re new to exercising, start with brisk walking and jogging. Adopt physically demanding hobbies like bicycling, hiking, jogging, power walking to promote faster weight loss. If you don?t have time for new hobbies, increase your physical activity with things like walking the dog, playing with the kids or jogging instead of driving to a nearby store or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Hello, according to your height is your weight is about normal, it should be around 63 kgs. If you are not a regular hypertension patient then there is no need to take these medications. Your bp shoots only when you are tensed or angry. Yes this is symptom of hypertension but don't worry this manageable with few life style changes. Drink plenty of liquids and cut down your fat, salt and sugar intake. Go for a morning walk daily at least for 30 minute. Take a sound sleep and try to avoid anger. Home remedies to control high bp:-1. Bananas are one fruit that people with high blood pressure can eat regularly to control it. Bananas are a rich source of potassium, which lessens the effect of sodium. So, try to eat one or two bananas daily. Along with bananas, you can try dried apricots, raisins, orange juice, spinach, baked sweet potatoes. 2. Eat one or two crushed garlic cloves daily. You can simply crush them with your hands. Crushing garlic cloves creates hydrogen sulfide, a compound that promotes good blood flow, removes gas and reduces the pressure on the heart. If you do not like eating raw garlic or if it causes a burning sensation, then take it along with a cup of milk. You can also mix five or six drops of garlic juice in four teaspoons of water and take it twice a day. **in case you need medication then take rauvolfia 1x, 2 tabs daily morning empty stomach. This homoeopathic medicine will not cause any harm/side effects. Thanks.
