@rufus2752 Welcome to Connect. This a place where we can share our experiences, but like you, we are patients, and only a medical professional can determine what is right for you. Blood pressure can become a serious issue if it goes on too long, so you really need a doctor's advice on that. It is too important to experiment with, but what you can do is to buy an automatic blood pressure monitor and periodically check your blood pressure and write it down with date and time. That will give your doctor good information to help you. Blood pressure is affected by stress, and some patients are stressed seeing a doctor about it, so the doctor gets high readings, but the patient gets lower readings at home. Blood pressure is also variable and your body has to compensate for when you stand up and all the blood starts to drain toward your feet or during exercise when your body is asking for more oxygen carried by the blood. You can lower blood pressure with relaxation listening to soothing music and taking deep slow breaths.

It is always a good idea to discuss any medication you wish to discontinue with your provider who prescribed it. Sometimes there are other medications that can work just as well, so if you are having side effects from a medication, you can always ask your doctor or a pharmacist about it. If you want to avoid medications, you may want to consult a functional medicine doctor ( or an environmental medicine doctor) because their focus is to prevent problems rather than treat problems that happen.

Would you like to search for a functional specialist? If so, you may use this link and the provider search button is at the top right.

Hi @rufus2752, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @jenniferhunter. There is also another older discussion that you may find helpful -- Managing high blood pressure: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/good-day-i-just-signed-on-with-mcconnect-though-i-have-been-using/

By Calis, are you referring to a supplement? Or something else?
As Jennifer said, if you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure (also called hypertension) it is important to keep it well-controlled, whether by medication or by lifestyle, diet & exercise changes. Uncontrolled it can lead to many very bad health issues - heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Until it is very high, it doesn't have symptoms, so monitoring is very important.
Have you seen a doctor and been prescribed medication?
