Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER.
No, eating ice cubes will not lower high blood pressure.
High blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) is when your blood pressure, the force of the blood flowing through your blood vessels, is consistently too high.
Changing your lifestyle can go a long way toward controlling high blood pressure. Your doctor may recommend you eat a healthy diet with less salt, exercise regularly, quit smoking and maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes lifestyle changes aren't enough.
In addition to diet and exercise, your doctor may recommend medication to lower your blood pressure.
