Hello,
You are a 52-year-old woman with known hypertension for 4 years, on regular allopathic medication (Cilacar-M 10/25 morning + Cilacar 5 night). The recent BP rise over the last 2 days (130–150 / 90–110 mmHg) with headache and a sedentary routine suggests a temporary BP fluctuation, not medicine failure.
From an Ayurvedic view, this fits Vata-Pitta aggravation with Manas (stress) involvement, often triggered by physical inactivity, mental strain, poor sleep, or dietary salt imbalance.
Your treatment will focus on BP stabilisation, calming Vata-Pitta, stress reduction, and supporting heart & nervous system, alongside your current medicines.
🔎 Recommended Monitoring (Very important right now) 1. BP recording twice daily (morning & night, same arm) 2. Check salt intake strictly 3. If BP stays >150/100 for more than 3 days, consult your physician 4. Annual labs (if not done in last 6 months): Lipid profile Kidney function (Sr. Creatinine) Electrolytes ECG
💊 Internal Medicines (All are safe with BP tablets) Phase 1 – 14 days (BP calming + headache relief + stress control) 1. Sarpagandha Ghana Vati (low dose) – 1 tablet at bedtime only 2. Arjuna Churna / Capsule – ½ tsp powder OR 1 capsule twice daily after meals 3. Brahmi Vati (plain) – 1 tablet after dinner 4. Praval Pishti – 125 mg once daily with honey or water
Phase 2 – 30 days (Long-term BP stability + lifestyle correction) 1. Ashwagandha (low dose) – 1 tablet at night 2. Arjunarishta – 10 ml + equal water after lunch
⚠️ Avoid high doses or multiple BP-lowering herbs together.
🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Head & foot massage – 3× weekly – Use Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila Helps headaches & nervous tension 2. Warm water sipping through the day 3. Afternoon rest (20–30 min) if headache present
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Strictly Avoid 1. Extra salt, pickles, papad 2. Tea/coffee more than 1 cup/day 3. Fried, packaged foods 4. Late nights 5. Continuous sitting
✅ Include 1. Simple home food, less oil & salt 2. Lauki, tori, pumpkin, cucumber 3. Pomegranate, apple 4. 1 tsp ghee daily 5. Early dinner (before 7:30 pm)
Helpful drink (daily): Coriander seed water (1 tsp soaked overnight, boiled & cooled)
🧘🏻♀️ Activity & Pranayama (Very important for BP control) 1. Morning walk – 30 minutes daily 2. Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes 3. Bhramari – 5 minutes 4. Shavasana – before sleep
🚫 Avoid Kapalbhati when BP is fluctuating.
🕉️ Follow-up & Safety Advice
• BP usually stabilises within 5–7 days • Headache reduces in 2–3 days • Continue Ayurvedic support for 1–2 months • Review BP medicines only with your physician
🚨 Seek immediate medical care if: • BP >160/100 persistently • Severe headache, chest pain, dizziness, or blurred vision
✨ With medication continuity, stress control, and gentle lifestyle correction, these BP fluctuations are reversible and manageable.
With warm regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)
Hello, I can see why you would be worried about such a situation - abrupt blood pressure changes are indeed quite scary, and it is really nice to see that one has been regular with the medication for years. But do not worry we are here to help you out 😊

Modern perspective
The pattern is indicative of blood pressure that has not been well controlled these last few days, with the main feature being the increase of the diastolic pressure, which is often associated with: –Stress or anxiety –Salt or fluid imbalance –Poor sleep –Lack of physical activity –Hormonal changes (very common around menopause)

If you have any of the following symptoms, seek urgent medical care without delay:

It sounds like you’re experiencing fluctuating blood pressure despite being on medication. In Ayurveda, managing hypertension involves balancing the doshas, primarily Vata and Pitta, which can be disturbed in this condition. It’s critical to maintain a calm and stable routine that supports these principles.
First, focus on diet. Emphasize a sattvic diet — one that is fresh, light, and naturally cooling. Incorporate foods such as boiled white rice, leafy greens, and include a few cooling spices like coriander and cumin in your meals. Avoid salty, spicy, and fried foods, as they can aggravate Pitta and elevate blood pressure. Also, keep hydrated with lukewarm water throughout the day.
A daily routine (dinacharya) also plays a vital role. Start your mornings with 10-15 minutes of Pranayama, focusing on deep and controlled breathing. Anulom Vilom and Sheetali Pranayama can help soothe and balance Pitta dosha. Gentle yoga stretching can also be beneficial – try Asanas like Shavasana and Sukhasana for relaxation. This routine can help stabilize Vata and reduce stress levels, an often overlooked factor in hypertension.
Ensure to include time for self-care, such as an abhyanga (self-massage) with calming oils like sesame or olive before your bath. Abhyanga can ground Vata and calm the mind, supporting overall cardiovascular health.
While Ayurvedic practices can assist in maintaining stability, keep monitoring your blood pressure closely. Sudden or sustained elevations require immediate medical attention to avoid complications. If fluctuations persist, consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible to reassess your medication. It’s essential to combine these natural methods with the ongoing medical care provided by your physician, ensuring safe and comprehensive management of your condition.
Remember, any modifications in medication or health regimen should always be discussed with your healthcare professional, taking into account your unique health profile and the current medications you are on.
