How long does it take to lower blood pressure by eating healthier?

Mine has been abnormally high for about a week .

I have been having one sided headaches, and pressure behind my eyes all month.
So it prompted me to check my blood pressure.

I will be getting an eye exam soon and will go-to doctor as soon as I find a new PCP.

I don't eat too terribly. I snack and fruit and eat oatmeal for breakfast most days . Dinner varies between healthy and unhealthy (had pizza yesterday 😞)

Again, I know I need to see a doctor and I will. I just couldn't find info from a reputable place online, at least from my phone I couldn't see reputable sites..just blogs about it

What do you mean by abnormally high? I use CoQ10 to control my bp and it works very well. Your mileage may vary.

@hippyjoe1955 That stuff is pretty pricey.

@SW-User It lasts a long time. It works much better than the stuff the docs prescribe. That stuff makes my BP fluctuate very badly and often makes it drop too low. I find no bad side effects from CoQ10.

@hippyjoe1955 What dosage do you take?

@hippyjoe1955 my usual blood pressure is around 114 over 76. It was 160 something over 95 today and yesterday.

@iamnikki For a young woman that is getting up there. I hope you can get it under control soon. The headache part is a bit worrisome.
