Donating blood does help to lower your iron levels, not much pressure. Get some garlic pills from GNC that’ll drop it like a rock.

no…your blood pressure is affected by stress activity level and cloggage of arteries it’s also partially genetic

Donation of blood and blood pressure are not related.Blood pressure has to be brought down by suitable drugs.

WELL I GUESS TECHNICALLY YOU ARE DECREASING YOUR CIRCULATING FLUID VOLUME BY DONATING BLOOD THEREFORE TEMPORARILY LOWERING BP. HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING USED AS A TREATMENT FOR HIGH BP.

i think it is garlic and apple cider vinegar that will help you with that. if you do a search you will see that they are very useful herbs. lots of benefits

No you need to be on HBP medication. HBP can lead to strokes and heart attacks. It is called the silent killer. See your Dr. about it right away.
