My spouse has had high blood pressure for quite a while now and I'm afraid she'll soon take the doctor's word for it and start taking pills. Latest was like 200/100 or so. Her pulse, however is around 65 so that's pretty good.

Any advice or ideas on what we could try instead?

We've both been eating low carb/ keto/ carnivore for years. She, oddly enough has not lost any weight where as I dropped quite a bit almost immediately after quitting carbs. There's no way she could be eating sweets etc. without my knowledge since we live in the middle of the woods, have no shops around and we go to the grocery store together.

She's been under a lot stress due to pressure at work which lead to a bad burnout. And then there's the highly troubled relationship with her mom.

We are quite active and get tons of fresh air.

We're both in our mid forties. We did get us an electronic machine with a cuff to keep track of her bp. I know those numbers are really high and we are both worried. Even though I will not tell her that so as not to cause more stress. Rather just tell her we'll figure it out.

As far as I know the statins have been proven to cause a lot of problems without much benefits.

Good stuff, thank you.
