I dropped my BP about 10 points by giving up cafeine - all of it.
The salt thing is over-hyped. Every doctor will tell you that but for many people a moderate salt intake does not raise BP very much.
The water thing is BS. There has never been a scientific study that driking water like a fish is good for you. Same thing with most herbal and food products.
Exercise, obviously. Smoking raised BP around 10 points for me till I gave that up too.
See a Doctor right away, but the drugs are great. ACE Inhibitors are so good for you the damn stuff should be in the water supply.
I love modern drugs.
120/80 right now...
