high bp help

Consult a physician immediately, else you are wasting precious time!

Some preferred tips (can try in long run to control it in future.. first consult doctor and take necessary pills)
Tender coconut twice/thrice a week (if he is diabetic avoid it)
Bananas good for bp (bad for diabetic)
No mental stress and take him early morning cool walk
Drink enough water
Cucumber is good bp controller
Pomegranate and papaya (best for blood purification)
And lastly don’t skip prescribed medicines by the doctor.
Hope he’ll be alright with almighty blessings !

First of all close this website/app which ever you are using & take a deep breathe and take your father to a doctor first.

Start medications as soon as possible
And when it comes down say him to improve lifestyle changes

DD is not a right platform to discuss medical conditions.. Mostly people will share their own experience which might not be helpful for all.. should rely only on professionals.. consult a physician

My BP is 160. It’s normal.

There can be a lot of underlying reasons why someone is hypertensive
While 120/80 is the standard BP, if you are 60+ then doctors prescribe medicines only if the reading is higher than 150/90
So take him to a nice doctor and if needed do a full body checkup

Your father needs medical help with a BP that high. That is not just high, that’s very high. If uncontrolled, it can lead to many long term complications, cardiovascular risks, renal risks, etc.
Consult a physician. He will require medications to bring that level down. Lifestyle changes will help on a long term basis. But he needs medical help, right now.

It depends on the many conditions like age, on medications, lifestyle BP is high or not patients body could handle it or not.

In case of aged people 140-150 is normal as they are on medications many times.

Bro have a healthy diet and take your father to some park in the morning and have some exercise make him laugh as much as you can BP will get normal.

If conditions get worse then immediately consult certified physician.

Meet cardiologist first. Do 2D echo screening if walls become thicker .
Most prolly , he’s having similar BP from months go unnoticed.
Is Bp sudden spike? Then u hv to check throughly with good gen physician.
Not to scare you: my relative lady had similar BP 190/96 and cardiologist ruled out anything wrong with heart but told to meet neaurologist and we did. She had got unnoticed stroke and acute one shown in MRI and angio. Relative was totally fine and no sign of any stroke from looks as she can do everything as like routine.
In such case, u don’t have to reduce Ur bp by pills and suggested to have same bp for next few days.

Just trying to have awareness, as sudden spike in BP could be from different reasons.
