Home Remedies to Lower High Blood Pressure in PKD

Many patients will experience high blood pressure in PKD. With high blood pressure, the illness will progress faster. Here are some home remedies to lower high blood pressure in PKD to prevent further kidney damage.
Do regular exercise.
Regular physical activity — at least 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week — can lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). And it doesn't take long to see a difference. If you haven't been active, increasing your exercise level can lower your blood pressure within just a few weeks.
But you should keep in mind that you should avoid intense exercise.
Limit sodium intake.
Even a small reduction in the sodium in your diet can reduce blood pressure by 2 to 8 mm Hg. The recommendations for reducing sodium are:
Limit sodium to 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day or less.
A lower sodium level — 1,500 mg a day or less — is appropriate for people 51 years of age or older, and individuals of any age who are African-American or who have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Avoid tobacco and secondhand smoke.
On top of all the other dangers of smoking, the nicotine in tobacco products can raise your blood pressure by 10 mm Hg or more for up to an hour after you smoke. Smoking throughout the day means your blood pressure may remain constantly high.
You should also avoid secondhand smoke. Inhaling smoke from others also puts you at risk of health problems, including high blood pressure and heart disease.

You should keep these tips in mind and make them happen. If you want to know more about how to treat PKD, you can take “Chinese Herbs for PKD with Creatinine 5.6”as a reference. You can also send an email to kidneyask@hotmail.com for a reply.
