I lately measured 230/100 and had excellent results with Amlodipine. It is a CCB and works in a very good way - via dilatation of blood vessels. After only 2 pills of 5 mg my BP dropped to 165/7something and that was it. Some people may have side effects though ...

For a quick but short term fix, drink beet juice. But do not ignore this and listen to your doctor. I did not believe them when they told me I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Until I had a stroke. Even though I take my meds religiously now, I still keep red beet juice for the occasional spike in pressure.

You don't want a stroke.

They can't fix a stroke.

Not what you're looking for?
