Hi everyone good morning,

I need some advise as my BP is so high. I went to my Family doctor regarding this last week and told me to loose weight and change my lifestyle. Any advise if i should start taking meds or continue to change my diet and exercise.

    Losing weight and exercising more will do most of us good in most circumstances, regardless of any other health issues.

    If that's the advice your doctor has given you then it sounds like a good place to start.

    What's your weight and height? Do you know if it is genetic related?
