High Blood Pressure caused by stress: any drug-free treatment?
I regularly check my blood pressure and recently, my blood pressure has been at the range from Prehypertension to Stage 1 Hypertension. I had a detailed physical exam a couple of weeks ago, and the doctor said it had nothing to do with what I ate. Not to mention, I eat VERY healthy. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, very little meat, and almost no junk food at all (I’m not overweight/obese) either.
People have told me to “watch my diet,” but as I’ve mentioned, I eat very healthy, and it has almost nothing to do with what I eat. So at this point, we are all assuming that my high blood pressure is caused by a series of stress from school, family, and friends–making it so I also lack sleep at the same time. I know “getting more sleep” is obviously a helpful treatment, but I’m looking for some more advice from health experts.
Is there any way I can treat this (i.e. meditation, more exercise, etc.)? Any other facts or advice related to high blood pressure are also welcome! Thank you!
Thanks to the people who have answered this question so far. But please, if you’re not going to read the details of this question, at least read the title of the question. I am looking for DRUG-FREE treatment…not pills or any kind of medication.

one word vacation
Regular sleeping and eating habits can make a major contribution to stress reduction. Melatonin is a natural hormone that you can use to help you relax and sleep better. You can buy the supplement at a pharmacy.
Try taking a short nap during the day.
Use your bedroom for sleeping only; do not work or watch TV there.
Whenever you feel anxious – get things off your chest. Talk to someone you trust.
Avoid caffeine.
Maintain a regular exercise routine, but do not exercise within two to three hours of bedtime.
And… no smoking.
Good luck
