Answers:
You do need to consult with a doctor so they can continue to monitor your blood pressure and possibly find what's causing it to be high. That said, a high protein diet is good to help lower blood pressure. When I was pregnant, I was borderline hypertensive and didn't want to take drugs that might have harmed my baby, so my Midwife recommended a high protein diet (around 90mg of protein/day) I ate a lot of boneless/skinless chicken breasts, eggs(best source of protein) and fish. The omega3 fatty acids in the fish are also very beneficial. I was able to bring down my blood pressure just by that change alone. As soon as I started eating normally again with more carbs than protein, my blood pressure started rising again. I had to stay on the diet until I had my son.Health Question & Answer
