Im interested in lowering my blood pressure naturally. Im 40, in decent shape, 20 lbs overweight and my BP has stayed the same for many years (usually around 140/90). Im not ready for medication and want to lower it naturally. I have to get a DOT physical every two years and every time its right on the border of pass/fail. The doctor pushes medication, medication, medication to regulate it and every time I tell him to take a hike, but Im getting tired of sweating it. What has worked for others for naturally lowering BP? Its really only got to be a couple points lower for me to be comfortable.

You stated that you are 20lbs overweight - that would suggest you don't have the best diet going on. You're Dr. sounds like a quack if he's only pushing medication and not telling you to change your diet or start exercising. Maybe lower your sodium intake?
