What exactly is high blood pressure?
????? asked:
Apparently I have high blood pressure. I’m healthy, and have been visiting the gym. I feel very fine after working out. I don’t have excessive amounts of sodium in my diet. So, why exactly do I have high blood pressure? If it’s not my physical health, then is it stress?

I’m 17. Too young to suffer from that especially when I’m eating healthy and exercising.
So what do I do?

if you haven,t seen a doc; do so. high blood pressure which is uncontrolled can be a killer. 120 over 70 is “normal” blood pressure for an adult. the low number is key. if it stays at 90 or above, you have a problem.

High blood pressure can be genetic and you can have it no matter how healthy you are. It’s basically how hard your heart is pumping blood through your body. You’re young, but it would probably be a good idea to see a doctor and start taking a prescription for it. If left untreated, It can lead to strokes, heart attacks, blindness, heart valve damage, and many other conditions.

I’m healthy and all the sudden out of nowhere I got high blood pressure to. Blood pressure could be a result of it running in your family. Also, stress can cause your pressure to become high. My problem was having a baby at the age of 34. Stressed me out, especially since I also have a 15 year old teen.
Your age of 17, yes that is young to be starting off with blood pressure problems.

Its probably stress. When i was 8, I went to the doctors and i had very high blood pressure. I went to a different doctor (a special pediatrician) 4 times and had a blood test. They found out nothing was wrong and it was just because i get stressed when i go to the doctors. I ALWAYS get stressed when i go to the docs so maybe thats ur problem??
