: My boyfriend has been having severe headaches for atleast a month. He checked his blood preasure the other day and it was 148- 106 and as high as 186-120 How can he bring his blood preasure down and when does he see the doc? help.

I would recommend that he start seeing his Doctor today!

Traditional ways to bring down blood pressure include low salt/fat diet, regular aerobic exercise,
stress relief, weight loss, no smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and finally, medication.
Alternative ways include herbs, acupuncture, yogi, etc..

His Doctor may want to start with medication right away.
