Hellene you have diagnosed with high blood pressure you need to control your blood pressure either by taking regular medicines or by lifestyle modifications, and it should be maintained below high normal limit which could be 140/90 mm of Hg. I would like further information to help you better libelous age and recording of blood pressurePresence of any associated risk factor like high cholesterol or family history of high blood pressure In my opinion you should not skip even a single dose without consulting with your doctor, it can be dangerous. You should avoid alcohol and smokingExercise regularly like brisk walking jogging or swimming must avoid fatty fried and junk Food can also do yoga and meditations for restoration of optimum health.
