I control my high blood pressure as follows (150 mg metoprolol plus 40 mg Benicar are not enough to control my blood pressure):
I have been now 9 weeks on Camzyos 5 mg once a day. My septum thickness has reduced from 2.2 cm to 1.4 cm.
I lost 20 pounds by eating half of the large amounts of food I used to eat.
I changed my diet for more fruit and vegetables.
I take 2 miles walk every single day even after having foot surgery (walking slow).
I eat only 3 times a day, no snacks anymore.
I eliminated all the salt from my food. I do not eat any process food anymore for it has a lot of sodium that raises my blood pressure.
Eggs in my breakfast I eat only 2 eggs instead of 4 I used to eat and I do eat only the white eggs. Notice the eggs by itself no matter how fresh they are they have already salt (sodium that raises the blood pressure).
I quit my stressful job. I avoid stress as much as I can.
The results are: my blood pressure with medicine listed above used to be in the range of 150/95 to 135/85.
With all the changes I made in my life noted above (eliminating the salt/sodium from my food), now my blood pressure is in the range of 130/80.
I hope that helps you and you have good control of your blood pressure.
