Brief Summary   The current study is a Randomized Controlled Trial among the adults with H-hypertension attending medicine OPDs of selected hospital in Sikkim. The objectives are to assess the proportion of H-hypertension in phase 1 & in phase 2, to find the effectiveness of customized interventions on therapeutic response among the subjects in experimental group as compared to the control group at baseline, two, four and six months. The primary outcome is to reduce the serum homocysteine level among participants with H-hypertension thereby reducing the blood pressure & the secondary outcome is the controlled blood pressure may contribute towards maintaining the QoL of the participant, the adherence to antihypertensives and dietary practices will be emphasized so that it will also contribute positively towards reduction of homocysteine and control of hypertension and prevent complications leading to CADs, MI, Heart attack, Heart failure, Stroke and CKD.
