Hypertension

I am already on metoprolol, lisinopril and amlodipine. I cycle a lot, lost weight over the last 5 years. Yet, I recently saw my doctor and still have a hard time keeping my bottom reading under 90 and it sometimes gets above 100. I already had an aortic aneurysm I lived through likely caused by this. My new provider wrote me a script for a diuretic. I really don't want to take it so I am going to try to really limit my sodium intake to under 2000 mg a day and see if that works first. Other cyclists with hypertension; How has it gone for you managing it?
