depending on the level of blood pressure you have. if it is extreamly high i suggest lots of exercise and possible a severe diet change and partisipate in less stressful activities and or invironments. but if you do just have moderatly high blood pressure exercise should help signifigantly and try some relaxation methods.

As many times as you like! I mean once everyday. But do only those yogic exercises with which you are comfortable. Do not push urself to your limits. These exercises are mainly for relaxation, but they are very effective for weight loss, blood pressure, diabetes,etc. Consult a Yoga trainer or get some lessons. Exercising in the early morning when the first raysof the sun start appearing helps in good blood circulation and healthy bones. I would suggest u two do yoga outside the house in a cool and gentle breeze. It would refresh u the best. So, happy exercising!

Not in all cases. Remember that many skinny people have serious blood pressure problems also. Certainly body weight, diet, and exercise reduce your chance of hypertension, but sometimes medication is the only answer.

Lose Weight\n\nPeople who are overweight are 2 to 6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure, and the heavier you are, the worse your blood pressure is likely to be, so the most important high blood pressure treatment you can practice is to maintain the ideal weight for your body.\n\nTomato\n\nA diet rich with tomatoes is an excellent high blood pressure treatment because tomatoes contain high amounts of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which can help reduce blood pressure. In addition, tomatoes also contain six other ingredients that have the same effect.\n\nCalcium\n\nTo significantly reduce high blood pressure, take 1000 mg of calcium per day.\n\nSalt\n\nA very simple high blood pressure treatment consists of just reducing your intake of sodium, try to stay under 2400 mg per day. Sodium causes your body to retain water, and this in turn increases your blood volume, therefore raising blood pressure.\n\nAlso, add salt at the table instead of cooking with salt. When cooking, foods absorb a lot of salt, which reduces the flavor of the food, which leads to the need to add additional salt at the table to remedy the blandness.\n\nCelery\n\nStudies have shown that celery is an effective high blood pressure treatment, and that eating as few as 5 celery stalks per day can lower blood pressure.\n\nPotassium\n\nThe more potassium you take, the more your sodium levels decline, which of course results in a reduction of blood pressure. Take the recommended dosage of 3500 mg per day.\n\nCalcium And Magnesium\n\nAlthough neither of these are a high blood pressure treatment, your blood pressure may begin to rise when you have a calcium and magnesium deficiency. Try to get about 1000 mg of calcium per day and about 400 mg of magnesium per day.\n\nBroccoli\n\nBroccoli contains six different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nCarrots\n\nCarrots contains eight different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nGarlic\n\nGarlic is known to be a very good high blood pressure treatment. Add minced garlic cloves to your food whenever possible, or alternatively, you can take 600 mg garlic oil capsules 5 times per day. Look for capsules that provide 8,000 micrograms of allicin potential daily.\n\nExercise\n\nStudies show that exercising 30 minutes per day, 3 to 5 times per week, can lower blood pressure by 5 to 10 percent.\n\nReishi\n\nReishi is a proven high blood pressure treatment. Take in capsule form, 3,000 mg per day.\n\nHawthorn\n\nTake about 1 pound of hawthorn berries and remove the seeds. Soak the berries overnight in about 2 1/2 quarts of water. The next day, bring the mixture to a boil for about 10 minutes. Let it cool, strain, and drink 2 to 3 cups per day.\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment can also be taken as a tea. Mix 1 teaspoon of dried hawthorn with 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink 2 cups per day.\n\nAnd, as an alternative, you can also take hawthorn in capsule form. Take two 500 mg capsules or 1 teaspoon of tincture 3 times per day.\n\nCoenzyme Q10\n\nCoenzyme Q10 is known to enhance energy to the heart muscles, helping them to pump blood more efficently. This results in lower blood pressure.\n\nSmoking\n\nEvery time you light one up, your blood pressure rises significantly and stays high for a couple of hours.\n\nMeadowsweet\n\nMeadowsweet is very high in iron and magnesium, making it a good high blood pressure treatment as well as being beneficial for all blood disorders. Mix 2 tablespoons of meadowsweet into 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes. Strain and drink 3 times per day.\n\nLemon\n\nSqueeze the juice from 1 lemon into a glass of warm water. Add 1 tablespoon of honey, mix and drink daily.\n\nSaffron\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment may be expensive, but it is known to be very effective in lowering blood pressure because it contains the chemical called crocetin. Use saffron while cooking or use it as a tea.\n\n

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.

Anxiety is one of the underlying reasons for high blood pressure.No it can't permanently rise your blood pressure, but by a slow process unconsiously.  \n\nTest Yourself :\n--------------\nHigh blood pressure is therefore never diagnosed on just one or even a few readings. To confer a diagnosis of high blood pressure, persistently elevated readings has to be recorded at different times of the day, on \ndifferent days and in different circumstances. The blood pressure tends to be lower in the evening for example, than it is in the morning and after exercise.High blood pressure increases your risk of damage to the blood vessels, heart and kidneys. You might like to investigate the possibilty of buying a do-it-yourself electronic blood pressure machine, which you can obtain from high street chemists,\nand which are accurate and eminently portable. If you confirm persistently high blood pressure readings, you should be treated.\n\nInitial tests from your doctor should include analysis of your urine and a blood test for kidney function, glucose level, blood fats and electrolytes (minerals in the blood). An electrocardiogram would also be useful as an additional assessment of any organ damage. \n\nWhat if all the test are NORMAL :\n---------------------------------\nIf all tests are normal, and there is no underlying cause of your blood pressure, a beta-blocker type of medication would be ideal for you in view of your anxiety. A beta-blocker such as propranolol is effective in reducing blood pressure and at the same time would reduce any physical manifestations of anxiety such as sweaty palms, nausea, fast pulse and palpitations without causing sedation and \ntiredness like other forms of treatment for anxiety.\nOther types of anti-hypertensive treatments include diuretics, ACE inhibitors such as captopril and others which you should discuss in some detail with your own doctor before making any choice about any on-going therapy.\nFinally, don't let your high blood pressure become another cause of anxiety for you. It is eminently treatable and after a conversation with your own doctor you may find that some lifestyle changes alone might do the trick without recourse to therapy at all.\n\n\nNew Guidelines for Blood Pressure are:\n--------------------------------------\n\nSystolic Diastolic\n< 120 < 80 optimal\n120-129 80-84 normal\n130-139 84-89 high normal , note systolic 120-139 and diastolic 80-89 are also considered prehypertensive , a reading of 115/75 are now considered optimal or the new normal.\n\nMild hypertension = 140-159 systolic 90-99 diastolic\nModerate hypertension= 160-179 systolic 100-109 diastolic\nSevere hypertension= 180 and above systolic 110 and above diastolic.\n\nIf you are concerned with your readings consult with your doctor. As I understand it for mild hypertension weight loss, diet and exercise are usually the first measures taken, if that doesn't work then usually drug treatment is started. I am not a doctor but I understand treatment is usually recommended now if your B/P is consistently above 135/85.

Monitor weight, don't smoke.  Swimming is a great exercise to improve the cardiovascular system.  Take medication if you have asthma -- stay away from attack-triggers.

Artery blockage can cause high BP if blood backs up at the blockage, but it generally won't cause high BP if there's blockage just at one point. The problem is that many people with atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries) have it throughout their body, just to different degrees at different points. Atherosclerosis will result in high systolic BP (the top number of the blood pressure). Blood pressure is best treated by a combination of methods. Regular exercise (such as walking several times a week more than usual) and diet changes (eating less fatty and salty foods for example) may help blood pressure in addition to medication, but it's important to talk to your doctor about any possible changes to your blood pressure treatment.

This depends on the individual. Many do not prescribe medication at all for a systolic this low. As far as high blood pressure goes, this isn't terribly high. Many prescribe diet and exercise alone.
