How to lower blood pressure naturally?

I was blessed to have high blood pressure, genetically. Both of my parents have it. I really don't want to have take drugs to lower it. Does anyone know natural remedies for lowering blood pressure. I'm not talking about the obvious things like diet, excersise, reducing stress etc. I'm looking for specific foods or vitamins or sleeping positions. Weird stuff that possibly works. I'll try it if it's not harmful! Thanks for your input!

What to do with my high blood pressure at such a young age?

I am 21 years old, Male and am from India. I have a high blood pressure of 140/96. I weigh 93 kgs and am obese. I guess my cholesterol levels are also very high. What are the possible dangers I might face ? What corrective actions to take ? My parents also have BP but not very high.

I've just started swimming for around 1 hour (30 mts of actual swimming). Is that enough ? Is heart attack at such a young age possible ? Kindly advise.

I was just diagnosed with with Factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, anyone else have this?

After having 2 m/c's my doctor ordered some blood test. I went in to speak with him yesterday and he told me that i have Factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR. He said i will need to start taking extra Folic Acid and baby asprin everyday. I am already taking a prenatal vitamin and vitamin d. I will also have to have shots everyday through out my pregnancy so i don't get blood clots and for 6 weeks after the baby is born. He said that the Factor 5 Leiden is genetic so i got it from 1 of my parents. He also said i can never take birth control pill. He also said this is common and a lot of women have this, 1 in 8. Is there anyone else who has this? Will i still be able to have a healthy baby? I am kind of scared and i have been trying to research about this so any info or advice would help! Thanks!
Thank you so much for being so positive for me! I am scared to death about this. The doctor said that taking the extra folic acid and baby asprin should help a lot! I also won't have to start the shots until about 8 weeks of pregnancy. He said as soon as we see the heartbeat we can start the shots. So we are taking December off to relax and we are going to start TTC in January! How is Mia doing?

What is a good brand for a blood pressure reader? Or does it matter?

I am about to buy to my parents a digital/automatic wrist blood pressure reader off of the Internet. My question is if there are major differences between brands or pretty much any I get from eBay for example would be reliable? Thanks!

What are some cheap vitamins that you would take once a day only?

for example vitamin b, c, d etc...

Reason:
I'm taking dinitrophenol but the only way I can sneak it into the house is by buying a pack of vitamins, dumping out all the vitamins and replacing them with dnp pills. Now I have fish capsules, vitaim b capsulves, vitamin c and pyruvate so I need to know what other vitamin I can take, that says "one a day" on the package so that my parents won't die if they decide to take some of my vitamins because an overdose of dnp will kill you.
