My mum has found that CoQ10 has lowered her blood pressure but there are contraindications so best to research first.

She's also found Rosehip & Hibiscus tea helpful.
Important to read up on what may be the cause - after all raised blood pressure is a symptom of something else.
Low Iron can cause the heart to beat faster - in its quest to push more oxygen around the body as oxygen sticks to iron in the red blood cells.
Low magnesium - this can cause the arteries to be less flexible so the blood is pushing through a narrower space.
Low FT3 is very important for the heart and ALL muscles - thyroid hormones are very important for heart health. Google low T3 Syndrome and Hearts
Do hope they tested the FT4 and FT3 and not just the TSH - which tells us so little.
