It sounds like you're dealing with persistent high blood pressure (hypertension) despite taking prescribed medication. In Ayurveda, high blood pressure is often associated with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat, metabolism, and the circulatory system. To support your treatment, you may benefit from adopting a holistic approach alongside your medication. Consider incorporating stress-reducing practices like meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) to help manage emotional triggers that can raise blood pressure. A Pitta-pacifying diet—including cooling, hydrating foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens—can also support cardiovascular health. Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, Arjuna, and Guduchi have been traditionally used to support heart health and reduce blood pressure, but these should be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure compatibility with your current medication. It's also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you feel the current treatment is not effective, as adjustments may be necessary. In Ayurveda, we aim to treat the root cause of imbalances, so a personalized approach would be ideal.

Ah, I see what you're saying. That's frustrating when you’re trying to manage blood pressure and it doesn't cooperate. So, your blood pressure is still hanging around 145/90 despite taking those meds. Let's dig into this from an Ayurvedic perspective.
First off, understand that high blood pressure can be linked to an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas. We gotta work on pacifying these doshas. One thing to keep an eye on is your daily routine. Consistency is key, eat and sleep same time everyday if you can. Also, loading up on stress-busting activities like yoga, meditation or even a short daily walk in nature might help calm those turbulent doshas and it's pretty much free!
Now, diet plays a huge role too. Aim for more cooling, calming, and nourishing foods. Think along the lines of boiled veggies, whole grains like barley, and rasayanas like ashwagandha which works wonders. Try to avoid spicy, overly salty or sour foods because they can aggravate Pitta. Too much caffeine and alcohol are not great either.
Next up, make sure your agni (that’s the digestive fire) is strong. If digestion is sluggish, aam (toxins) can stay in the body which ain't helping any with high BP. Sip warm ginger water through the day to keep that fire burning nicely. Bringing a little more fiber into your diet with fruits and leafy greens can help things move through the system more smoothly.
Last bit, shirodhara, a theraputic oil flow on the forehead, has calmed many a hyper Pitta beast, you might wanna consider that therapy. But since you’re taking western meds too, keep docs in the loop before any major changes, just to stay safe. After all, the human body is so intricate and everyone has a different baseline. Stay curious and keep exploring what works for you! But of course, if things get worse or you feel somethin off, don't hesitate to reach out for more direct medical help.
