<s>[INST] Hi Dr GopiI am on Avapro to control hypertension but it is not effective on its own and my doctor has given me norvasc to take as well. However, I am frightened to take it because I feel that if I want to stop one day it will give me dangerous rebound effect. All the drugs seem to have one kind of side effect or another and although I already have a fairly healthy lifestyle, dont drink alcohol or smoke and not over weight, I would like to use natural methods to eventually control it. I am 64 and weigh 54 kilos [/INST] Hai, i appreciate your concern sir, i will advise you to control the high blood pressure in natural way. Limit the amount of sodium (salt) you take daily. Aim for less than 1,500 mg per day. Eat a heart-healthy diet. Include potassium and fiber, and Chat Doctor.  Stay at a healthy body weight.

Studies shows practicing yoga will maintain blood pressure in normal range. Thank you hope answered your query. </s>
