How to lower blood pressure in one week, any ideas?

I went to the DRs today for another issue and she checked my blood pressure, which was 178/100 (shocked as it’s never been so high before, I do check from time to time). I’ve been asked to monitor for a week and if it doesn’t go down I’ll have to go on medication which I really want to avoid. I do get anxious when having my blood pressure monitored at the DRs which is apparently common, so was asked to do it again at home and it did go down to 147/99. Any ideas how to lower it quickly?

Ashwarganda is a herbal supplement.

You can find it in Holland & Barratt, in the section for 'brains'.

Seriously, look for the Gingko Biloba supplements and you'll find the Ashwaganda.

Thanks I’ll take a look.
