[|AI|]  Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns. For how long you're suffering from it? Any other associated problem? Like diabetes ?  The BP reading which u have mentioned is in pre-hypertension range. What is your wt.? BMI? Any family history of heart disease?  In my opinion u require a lifestyle modification. Do regular exercise and consume regular nutritional food. With exercise and low salt diet your blood pressure will remain in normal range.  As far as garlic is concerned, there are a lot of views. Some use it for lipid lowering others for weight reduction.  Categorically speaking, I can't comment about it since I failed to find any published research article regarding that...meanwhile stay calm get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.
