SUMMARY
In my study, total of 150 hypertensive patient
were studied out of which maximum (45.3) numbers
of patients are in age group of 40-49
years. 10.7 of patients smoke regularly 25 of
patients had family history of hypertension. 35.3
of patients were doing physical exercise
regularly out of which 58.5 were males and 41.5
were females. 13.3 of patients were doing Yoga
regularly out of which 60 were males and 40
were females. 6 of patients are tobacco
chewers 52.7 of hypertensive patients were
taking high salt intake
21
SUMMARY
SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE Between 1st and 2nd
visit there is 1.95 mm of Hg reduction of mean
systolic blood pressure of 150 patients. Between
2nd and 3rd visit there is 1.10 mm of Hg
reduction of mean systolic blood pressure of 150
patients. DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE Between 1st
and 2nd visit there is 1.93 mm of Hg reduction
of mean diastolic blood pressure of 150
patients. Between 2nd and 3rd visit there is
1.26 mm of Hg reduction of mean diastolic Blood
Pressure of 150 patients

RECOMMENDATION
Non Pharmacological methods take long time for
reduction of blood pressure so study should be
held for long time.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PATIENTS
? People are advised to stop smoking tobacco
chewing ? Take less amount of salt and oil in
food. ? Avoid the sedentary life style. ? Avoid
fatty and cholesterol containing food. ? Follow
