Lose weight if you are overweight. Exercise. Cut out salt, saturated fat, and trans fats. Celery lowers BP. If this doesn't do it get to a dr. to get on some BP lowering meds. It's not worth it to have untreated high blood pressure. You are risking a stroke, kidney damage, heart problems, and other serious conditions.

Begin with diet changes as has been mentioned. Reduce your salt intake, if you are overweight lose weight, exercise, perhaps take up meditation.
If these efforts do not reduce your blood pressure than you should discuss medications with your doctor.
The people who are telling you that blood pressure medications don't work are ignorant or malicious

Well, I suffer from low blood pressure, so I can tell you that I eat alot of dark chocolate, no oils, and alot of lemon too....So yeah...I need to find a trick to get my blood pressure high soon or I might be a vegetable...but oils disgust me.

all of the above and if still high(>120/80) check with doctor. The meds nowadays are fantastic. 30 years ago if you had malignant hypertension (eg>220/110)your lifespan was quite short. Now it is rare to even have to go to a hospital. tg for drug companies!!
