Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about your health conditions. Did your medication use for the blood pressure cause the removal of your kidney?
There are many things you can do to try and control your blood pressure. Staying away from salt all together would be helpful. If you use salt, try to only use it in moderation. The current recommendation is to consume less than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams[mg] ) of sodium a day.
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute has a great website that you may find helpful. Here is the link http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hbp/treat/treat.htm.
There are many things you can do to try and control high blood pressure. If you smoke, you should really look into quitting as smoking does not help with high blood pressure.
Maintaining a healthy weight is also very important. Please check out the website I provided and let me know what you think. There is some great information on there. Please keep us updated!
