I'm 20 year old. I suffer from asthma, my blood pressure is 140/100 mmg. How can I control it without taking any medicine?

Question

Dear lybrate user, your blood pressure seems to be on the higher side, but one reading is not sufficient to make a conclusive diagnosis of hypertension. Additional details like history, weight, height, lifestyle, etc are also important. It is important you consult a physician privately, which will enable the particular doctor to prescribe you specific treatment after checking your blood pressure. Meanwhile, you could observe the following to help improve your blood pressure:
- Sleep well at least 6-7 hrs everyday. Do not get stressed about issues.
- Drink less coffee and tea, quit smoking
- Eat less salt, less processed foods (papad, pickles, noodles, etc.)
- Eat small meals (preferably home-cooked) at regular timings everyday
Get well soon!
