It's likely a doctor won't do anything with a first visit but give you some tips. Usually a determination that you have high blood pressure comes after monitoring your blood pressure over several office visits.
The standard sensible things the doc will tell you right off is..
healthy diet
low salt and sodium
heathly weight
exercise
little or no alcohol
stop smoking
drink 64oz of water daily

Thanks for the tips PK and all the others. See, the problem is that I pretty much cover all these points already.
Healthy diet. Sure
Low salt & sodium. Yeap, not more or less than before
Healthy weight. Sure
Exercise. Absolutely
Little or no alc. Need to work on that...
Stop smoking. Never really did it
64oz water. Easily. If not twice the amount.
Go figure. I'll just go to sleep really early tonight and rest well.
