Dear Patient,

A single reading of high BP doesn't make her hypertensive. She needs atleast two. Usually the first step is to reduce salt n spices in diet, avoid fatty and oily foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables especially those with peel on like apples cucumbers etc. Introduce laal atta, brown bread, rice with husk in diet, increase intake of water and walk daily for 15-20mins in park or open area. These simple measures can help regulate her bp well.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Cardiologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
