I had the same problem last year. BP was really high for my age, etc. Immediately cut out the salt (sodium) from my diet, but that's not easy to do. They say you shouldn't take in more than like 1200mg a day or whatever, but that means not eating ANYTHING frozen or canned, and not using any seasonings on your food. Not as easy as it sounds.
Anyway, the key is lots of cardio every day. Your body is retaining water, so sweat it out. Drink lots of water (if you're retaining water, drinking more of it while reducing the sodium will actually make you pee it out more), and get out of the online porn biz, it is notorious for making people fat and lazy (jk).
If your doctor is giving you pills, ask him what kind. If they are just simple water pills, then take them. It will help you get rid of that excess water in your body that's causing hypertension. You'll start pissing like a racehorse the very next day.
