How can I raise my blood pressure?

I hate the fainting spells! It runs on my dad's side of the family to have low blood pressure, but this is bad. Normally it's about 100 over 70 but It's dramatically dropped twice now. Luckily the second time was while i was already in the hospital. I need to raise it!

Can whey protein shakes raise blood pressure?

I am 17 and was diagnosed with high blood pressure at my physical a few weeks ago. Since then, I have been monitoring my BP at home. Typically it had been around 140/70 but recently it has dropped to 106/51 (the lowest one I have recorded) I stopped taking whey protein and my dad insists that this was the cause. I was taking about 5 shakes a week for 2 years and used Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein.

What could be the cause of my high blood pressure?

I'm 14. I just went to the doctor and she says my blood pressure is high. She also said my weight was perfect. I exercise constantly and eat well enough.

Just in case it makes any difference, I've been taking Aleve for back pain for the past week or so. And high blood pressure is common on my dad's side of the family. But would it really be starting already?

How do I lower or reverse high blood pressure?

I found out I have like 149 over something blood pressure i'm a 19 year old Chinese. My dad and grandpa seems to have it. But I don't know if it's genetic, because lately I haven't been doing much exercises and i've been eating fast food a lot and yeah a lot. I'm in college. So it should be expected.

What are some foods that I should eat that actually can do the reverse and maybe kill some bad fat that is clogging me? I'm not fat by the way. I have good metabolism, and I poop a lot.

Can you just give me a basic plan. Like how much cardio a week. What food I should eat. Basically the best foods out there, money is not a problem for me. Just name the best of the best food for healthy living, and to reverse if possible or just lower my blood pressure.
I don't drink, smoke or do drugs.

My dad has high Blood Pressure and keeps collapsing at home in the middle of the night. Why?

My dad keeps collapsing near the washroom or near the kitchen door almost every month at nights. The next day, we usually discover him lying somewhere unconsciously. He is not even aware that this is happening. Is it because of blood pressure? He has never had any health problems before. He is around 58 years of age. He practices Yoga and still this health problem keeps occuring.
I would request a medical expert such as a doctor to answer this question.
