High blood pressure?
Asked 6 months ago - Middletown, OH
my husband is 27 and has high blood pressure. he was put on medication for it but we have lost our health insurance and cannot afford health insurance or to pay for the rx full price. is there anything i can do to help lower his blood pressure without medication? im afraid he is gonna have a heart attack too young!

Non pharmaceutical things that you can do to lower your BP include:
Avoid salt - table salt, sea salt, salty foods - potato chips, canned foods, fast foods
Decrease stimulants - caffeine(coffee/tea/pop), alcohol
Avoid Cigarette Smoking
Lose Weight
Get more exercise - even walking counts
Decrease stress, if possible
***You might want to talk with his physician to see if a less expensive antihypertensive medication can be prescribed too.
Best wishes.
