Generally, medications are prescribed to reduce blood pressure, like diuretics that enables the kidney to flush out more sodium or ACE inhibitors that relax the blood vessels. However, these treatments largely depend on the patient's health and blood pressure levels.
Apart from medication, you can also make lifestyle changes to keep your blood pressure in control. These include maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercising, drinking adequate amounts of water every day, reducing the consumption of alcohol, limiting the amount of salt in the food, etc. Managing your stress is also an essential step to maintain your blood pressure level.
