Which exercise helps to lower BP? - #12434

Aasha

I am really worried about my blood pressure lately!! It’s been creeping up, and my doctor says I gotta get it under control, or I might have to go on meds?? I don’t want that. I’ve read about the importance of exercise, but I’m kinda lost on what would be best. Like, which exercise helps to lower BP? I've tried walking, but honestly, I don't know if it’s really doing anything. Sometimes I feel like my heart is racing after, but then again, maybe that’s just my anxiety? Ugh!! I used to jog a bit but I got this knee issue that flares up, which makes me think that’s not the safest bet. Are there specific routines you guys think are effective?? Should I stick with low impact stuff or try to push through some high-intensity workouts? Cycling sounds fun, but I worry if that’s gonna end up being too much and stressin my heart. Which exercise helps to lower BP? Should I mix in strength training or just do cardio? I’m honestly a little confused about what’s best for someone like me. And how often should I be working out? Does any of this really make an impact?? Gosh, I hope so—just wanna feel normal again!
