Sir,

I am 29 year's old, male and married. My grand mother had Hypertension and Sugar at the age of 60. But, my father is not having any of these. I found that i am having hypertension after checking periodicaly for 1 month. One of my close Dr asked me to go for Beta Blocker's ( Nebivolol ). Since, there is no option, i started taking medicine and before that i followed the life style modification - (walking upto 3km's, salt less food) Even then i couldn't find the exact BP of 120/80. Some times it is to less than normal 120/70 and exceeds 160/100. From the past 15 year's i am having pain in the left side of chest, but in the last one week it is painful than normal( tolerable pain ). Pain persists exactly at backside of the nipple.

What is the necessary action, I have to take? Why it is so for me at the age of 29 itself?

Give me reply at the earliest sir.

You should explain the chest pain you feel to your physician to check if this can be an angina pectoris.
Angina pectoris is a chest pain or discomfort due to narrowed heart arteries, heart valvular defects and due to uncontrolled hypertension.
If you don't get the desired effect from the medications you use, your doctor should consider another type of anti hypertensive drug or combination of drugs.
Angina pectoris it can be felt as pressure, heaviness,
tightening, squeezing, or aching across the chest, particularly behind the breastbone.
It can radiates to the neck, jaw, arms, back, or even the teeth.
Have you noticed some lump located under the nipple, too?

Chest Pain in the lesft side
For this, should get operated or any treatment can solve my problem.

From yeaterday, i am not feeling any pain in my chest. But, the pressure was 130/80(yesterday), 135/90 (day before yesterday). How can i reduce my pressure to 120/80. Can you give me some guidance in Diet and Excercise.

Because, i am being in insulin company. I am educating the patients how to reduce their sugar with Diet and Excercise up to 60%. This is what, ADA 2009 also says. This how, i also need some explanation about the
Diet advices and Excercise for my BP.

You should follow the DASH diet, an eating plan in adults with normal to high blood pressure.
Few clinical studies have determined that this eating plan results in better results in lowering the blood pressure than the anti hypertensive drugs could.
Actually, people that practice the DASH 2 diet, with Stage 1 hypertension had their blood pressure decrease as much or more than any anti-hypertensive medication had been able to lower it.
The DASH diet is low in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and high in potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
And for exercise, you should start slow and work more physical activity into your daily routine.
Usually, it takes about one to three months for regular exercise to have an impact on your blood pressure.
Aerobic activity like climbing stairs, walking, jogging, bicycling and swimming, for at least 30 minutes every day, should be beneficial for lowering your blood pressure.

Best wishes!
