How to lower my systolic without lowering my diastolic blood pressure?


I have had a slightly higher blood pressure since my teen years. But only the past week I noticed that my BP values are wide - 150 over 77. My heart rate is about 75 but it has reached 39 as well. I have diagnosis of "Hypertensio arterialis essentialis labilis; ventricular extrasystole (Extrasystolia ventricularis); and Struma diffusa" as the cardiologist wrote it down. I need to have a holter monitoring done and a Echocardiography to determine the causes of the ventricular extrasystole, but that might take a few months, and until then, what do you suggest I do, at leat with the higher systolic pressure value?
Thanks!
When measuring my pulse, sometimes the beats are regular, but very ofter they would skip beats. It has only been this week that I noticed that sometimes it beats faster - 2 beats in the time span on a normal singular beat. There are sometimes up to 6 beats like this.
The doctor I saw when I was a bit frightened of my slow heart rate scolded me for not being more disciplined in losing weight. I'm 27, weigh around 120kg and am 170cm tall. I know I need to loose weight - but it's just so hard!

The reason I asked this question is because I fear I would have a sudden heart attack, or a stroke and die; or sometimes I feel anxiety build up in me and I fear I might faint any moment. These thoughts sometimes keep me up all night - something that I know is not good to do especially when having difficulties with your heart.

Are there fears real or should I take it easy?
I had a really good answer from Mrs. Doubtfire, but now I can't find in anywhere, what happened to it?

I decided to take action regarding my obesity and scheduled to see a nutritionist in 2 days. I am scared that it won't work even though I really want to loose weight.

Believe it or not, diet and exercise go a long way. Eating a healthy diet on a regular basis, and regular exercise can help your blood pressure get back to normal. Its not a miracle cure, and you need followed up by a qualified physician, as there may be other outside factors causing the blood pressure abnormalities. Genetics can also play a part in why you would have this problem. Just do as the doctors say, eat healthy, and get regular exercise.  (+ info)
