Answer to Question 1

The American Heart Association recommends an optimal blood pressure of less than 120/80 .

Answer to Question 2

Small frequent meals; avoid gas-forming foods; do not lie down after eating; avoid caffeine; do not eat in a rush, try to eat in a relaxed atmosphere; chew food extremely well; eliminate everything that has a history of causing reflux; avoid alcohol; avoid aspirin.
