Does anyone take supplements for high blood pressure?

Mine just keeps going up despite medication! I would rather ctb then die a slow and extremely painful death from strokes and heart attacks. Have you tried anything that worked?

This is going to be really unhelpful and I apologise in advance. I've always had low blood pressure and it gets lower all the time - primarily because I eat next to nothing. During "happier" times I stuck to a mostly vegetable based diet and I think - though am happy for someone to tell me otherwise - than diet can play a big part.

It is very real, actually. I didn't know about it until recently. I think people that have been well-versed in herbal remedies have been taking it for the longest time. My knowledge of those things had been very limited in the past.
