Why is my blood pressure so high?

My blood pressure has been very high since my doctor changed my medication to Ramipril 5mg, the last reading at my GP was 165/102. I am trying to reduce using natural remedies such as Niacin 100mg per day (vitamin B3), and Garlic supplements 1000mg per day. I don't think it helps that I am stressed out all the time.

I read that drinking water may help, as this would flush out some of the sodium from my body so I decided to give it a try. I took my own blood pressure reading and it was 160/99, still far too high. I then drank a glass of water, after ten minutes I took another reading which was 153/93, a little better. I then drank another glass of water. After ten more minutes I took another reading which was 145/89.

The water seems to be helping although it could be that I needed the fluid anyway. I would be interested to hear other comments from people that may have tried using water to reduce their blood pressure. Please follow me if you find this post interesting. Thank you.
