Can you cite reputable sources saying BP meds are linked to cancer?
Millions of people are on Beta Blockers; the majority with zero side effects. In fact there have been studies showing BBs may have anti-cancer properties.

I would strongly suggest caution with any "natural remedy" because many of those have more adverse effects. Case in point, I know of a person who read taking magnesium can help their heart and blood pressure. They took enough magnesium that it threw the electrolyte balance out of whack and now they have permanent rhythm issues.

Exercise, exercise, exercise.

And become a vegetarian.

Hard to argue with that. Polk salad anyone?

Celery is supposed to be helpful.

need to walk 45mins+ every day, ZERO coffee, ZERO sugars/soda, and up the banana intake. VERY LITTLE SODIUM. Lots of sleep !

Take Medical on a Monday AM (just after a relaxing weekend) before the week starts and stupid taskings from boss, etc start

Hey everyone! wow! I got back last night from my eight day rotation, was not able to log on while on the road. I really can not thank all of you who took the time to reply to my question. I really appreciate all the thoughtful idea's, the feed-back, the concerns about the stroke some one mentioned if I don't lower my BP. I am aware about the diet, exercise, did not know about the celery, or the yoga, thanks for that tip. Again I don't want to think I forgot about everyone's concern, I just could not log onto the website. I hope everyone out there has a rich and fulfilling holiday. Thanks again to everyone.

Don't look for any tricks to lower your BP to get you thru your next medical. Take a long term approach. Go to a cardiologist. He can detect underlying causes that a general practitioner may overlook. Look at the FAA's CACI worksheet for guidance. Also with elevated BP, have your kidneys checked with a simple blood test. I lost time from work (and could have lost my life) because I delayed going to a cardiologist.

WhisperJet's observations are well founded.

My father was diagnosed with malignant hypertension in the 1960s. He was grounded as a military pilot. He didn't fly in his civilian career.

He took a lot of medication including magnesium. All of it was prescribed. It seems each time he went to a new doctor, more medication was prescribed without consideration to what he was already taking.

When in his late 50s/early 60s, my father went to a physician who reduced his medications by roughly two thirds. His BP improved and my father lived until he was 84. The biggest problem during his last five years was kidney failure and dialysis.

Good luck!
