How do I eat? What do I do?

Please help me as I don’t know what I have but I’m aware of my symptoms. A few weeks ago, I went to my Medical Doctor and I was found to have High Blood Pressure, HBP. The reading was 145 over 95. The Doctor told me to monitor for two weeks. In the mean time I started to feel pressure in my head and temple areas. Later the Doctor put me on 5 mg of Amlodipine, once daily. My BP started to be normal except when I try to eat a meal at night; as I am eating, I’m experiencing increased intense pressure in my head and temples. Now I’m afraid of eating anything. I am 41 y/o, African American at 6 feet and 158 lbs. And I use Albuterol Inhaler regularly for asthma. Can you figure what could be going on with me, and what actions I need to take?

Lots of fruit, vegetables and nuts. A good variety of these and you should see a big health improvement. Oily fish a couple of times a week is also good because of the omega oils they contain. Go for fish like sardines/pilchards or mackeral. Tuna has some oils but not the tinned variety, this has almost zero. Tinned pilchards are great, including the ones in tomato sauce, great on toast. When you cook your vegetables try to cook them for as little time as possible or you will lose all the goodness. There is a lot you can do for a healthy diet and this is just the start, hopefully others will add to this.
Lastly, avoid trans fats, and cut down on saturated fats.
