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.

Just an update: Measured her bp this morning and it was 210/110 with a heart rate of 60. Needless to say she got really worried. We found out she had a prescription for some high bp meds so I drove to the pharmacy and after about 6 hours the pressure had come down to 155/95 which is still high but a lot better. Surprisingly her heart rate had gone up to 75 like her heart was trying it's best to fight the meds and keep the pressure up...

Anyway, we'll see how it goes with the pills and see if we're able to exercise more, do something about the stress/anxiety and do something nutritionwise to get off the meds at some point.

Thank you all for your input. Appreciated.
