I am 121 lbs, 5'2", exercise 6 days a week for 40 minutes, don't drink or smoke and eat a healthy diet...and yet I still deal with high-ish blood pressure. Is there anything else I can do without resorting to meds?

I was told for me to keep my blood preasure down was to keep stress out of my life, or as much as possible do not stress out over everything. I am not overweight, I use to drink but I don't anymore, but I do still smoke, which my husband and I are going to quit.

In the Hypertension & Stroke White Paper, experts at Johns Hopkins explain what you can do to manage high blood pressure in order to prevent stroke, and much more important information. 96 pages.
