Plus size and high blood pressure.

So I recently went to my new obgyn and I was told I have high blood pressure. 150/103. But never had that problem with my previous obgyn and even took my pressure at CVS and was just a few above normal but no where near that high. Any way my Dr. put me on Lonetalol and the side effects are worst. I even asked if there was another option he said no. So the question is! Have any of you plus size ladies had an issue with high blood pressure? And if so did you try safer and more natural options? If so which?
