For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.
