there are many factors that causes high blood pressure.. major factors include excessive cholesterol and salt in the body.. there are many means of lowering it such as proper diet and exercise.. also quit smoking, limit alcohol intake and restrict/decrease salt intake as well as that of fried food.. there are also medicines that helps regulate blood pressure such as captopril and ramipril, but please seek medical suggestions first before taking any hypertensive drugs.. garlic also helps in lowering blood pressure.. routinary checking of one's blood pressure would also help.. tips on checking blood pressure.. a.) if a person just walked for and is still recovering from a tenuous or strenuous exercise, wait for at-least 15-20 before taking his/her blood pressure.. b.) wait for about 15-20 mins before you take a person's blood pressure if that person just ate.. not following these instructions could give you wrong readings.. trust me.. i'm a registered nurse and a medical student.. i know what i'm saying.. hope i could help..
According to my experience, dealing with die-hard born-agains also increases the possibility of getting hypertension... Ehehehehe! (note: die hard ones only. open-minded ones are ok)

agree. execercise and right diet. there is a safe limit though. make sure you don't have diebeties or some kind of cardiovascular disfunction before serious excercise though. consult with a doctor. i remember a just about a month age, a boy at 16 died after a basket ball game bc he had an enlarged heart. so find out your health before excersice. i think the heart rate rule is your age minus 20.

This is funny lol but true.
But yeah, I have anxiety and it's a pain sometimes, can cause increased BP on top of normal meds from the doc, eat right, veggies, fruits, try to eat the bad stuff in moderation if you have to eat something unless you're really bad with cholet which can contribute to higher BP, but stress, anxiety, depression tons of other mental conditions can effect it.
I have a BP monitor but do try not to obsess over it....just take it a few times a week.
