I have high blood pressure but low heart rate - I take a blood pressure pill and I take a beta blocker for heart beat issues.  I am trying to walk a little despite disability and I try to eat healthy as I can but I believe stress in my life hampers my bp from getting much better.  Good luck to you - there are supposedly some natural substances that might help.

Are you taking medication to manage your blood pressure?  Often times, a person needs to increase the potassium in their diet to bring blood pressure down.  If we eat out or consume processed foods we end up with plenty of sodium.  Sodium and potassium work together but it's possible to experience an imbalance of too much sodium-not enough potassium.  Just a suggestion from someone who understands health and nutrition.

Have a great day!

I think it has all been covered here.  Most important - SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
