One of the major causes of high BP is salt intake.  Stay away from salty foods (fast food, canned food, any type of processed meat or cheese).  Goal is to get less than 2 grams a day. Also, excercise and stopping smoking helps.

Well you can unblock your nose by using saline drops. All that is normal salt water. It can be bought  but you can make it yourself by boiling salt,but let it cool first of course! Decongestants causes high blood pressure so salt water is the safe alternative.

A new study on the prevention of high blood pressure recommends six lifestyle modifications. These strategies are especially important for people who have risk factors for high blood pressure that cannot be changed, including family history, race, and aging.\nLifestyle modifications include: \nMaintaining a normal weight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. \nReducing sodium in your diet to about 2.4 g (2400 mg) per day, which is about 1 teaspoon of salt. \nExercise, such as brisk walking, at least 30 minutes a day on most, if not all, days of the week. \nFor men, limiting alcohol to two drinks (24 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of wine, or 2 ounces of 100-proof whiskey) per day. Women and lighter-weight people should limit alcohol to half that amount. \nGetting 3,500 mg of potassium in your diet every day. \nFollowing the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, with reduced amounts of saturated and total fats.

There are many factors that can cause hypertension (high blood Pressure.) Some of the factors that you can control to lower the BP are, Caffeine, smoking, Sodium, and stress. A regular sleep schedule, and exercise have also been shown to help in most cases.\n\nHe should also start taking his BP on a regular basis, and documenting it so if it can not be brought under control you have a base line to provide you doctor with.

I would start with diet. Lifestyle issues you can control to lower your risk of developing high blood pressure include obesity and not being active or exercising, drinking alcohol (three drinks a day or more), eating a lot of salty or processed foods, and not getting enough calcium, magnesium, and potassium in your diet. Do you take a supplement like Centrum? Look into the DASH diet. Dietary approaches to stopping hypertension. www.nhlbi.nih.gov try this, and enter DASH into search. Maintain a healthy weight.\nGet regular exercise. Avoid using too much sodium. Get enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium in your diet. Add fiber to your diet. Limit alcohol use. Stop smoking. Use anti-inflammatory medications wisely. Learn to check your blood pressure at home. Reduce stress.

if it is not controled with a change of diet , you probably have to take medication for all your life, but some drs try and lower the dosage after a period of time, and if it does not go up again they may stop it. but even then you should have a healthy diet and check your blood pressure regularly.

These are all good recommendations. I do recommend consulting a physician to determine 1. if you do have high blood pressure, 2. what is the cause, 3. what are your treatment options, and 4. do you need to be screened for heart disease and high cholesterol. Sometimes high blood pressure can simply be treated with what is called lifestyle modifications: exercise, low fat diet, reduce salt intake, etc. However, sometimes a medication or two need to be added to bring the blood pressure down. Hypertension can be sign of other things: heart diseae, sleep apnea, kidney disease, etc, and therefore further evaluation may be necessary.

I am sure that some methods are available to decrease your blood pressure, however, I would be very careful if you are thinking about stopping your meds.  End stage renal failure is serious business (as you know) and although exercise, avoiding salt, and avoiding stress will help improve your blood pressure a small amount, they pale in comparison to the usefulness of medications for this.  Exercise has been shown to be the most effective, dropping systolic blood pressure 5-10 points in some studies.  Decreasing your salt intake to 2 grams or less will lower your blood pressure another 5 points.  \nI would suggest doing these things in addition to the medications that you are already on.

Ask your Dr for other ways to reduce blood pressure. If you need to go on medications, check with the DR on the side effects including sexual side effects.

Losing weight is the first step.  Stop using caffeine.  Lower salt intake.  If this doesn't work a Doctor will prescribe Antenolol or another drug.

first of all eat a healthy balanced diet, 5 portions of fruit or veg a day, try not to eat to many bananas, grapes or satsumas if you are border line diabetic as these contain natural sugar, diet drinks are fine in moderation not to many as these contain caffeine and can raise your blood pressure not good with hypertension, start off with a little exercise just a gentle walk as if your not used to it, this can be dangerous, gradually build up to more exercise, smaller portions, if you eat smaller portions for 2-3 weeks you won't feel so hungry as your stomach will shrink because it's not being full with food and can't take so much, when you feel like picking eat carrot sticks or celery, you should go to a dietitian and they will tell you how many calories you should have a day for your size, lifestyle etc, and give you an eating plan. good luck
