If you have lost weight, reduced stress, stopped smoking, etc. and still cannot seem to get your blood pressure down, you should consult your doctor. It may be time for medication. There are a number of different types of blood pressure medicines. All of which will reduce your blood pressure by different methods. There are some that will reduce the excess fluid and sodium that cause hypertension. These are called diuretics. There are others that relax blood vessels when they are too tight. Some prevent blood vessels from constricting and narrowing. Because high blood pressure does not have a known cure, the medications and treatments used tend to be a life-long process.
