Hi everyone
Well I'm a 24 year old male and I've been aware probably for the last 2 years my blood pressure is on the slightly high end of things. When I go for my asthma review with the GP, my BP has been about 130/80 which I'm told is "fine"
But I've been measuring it at home and at times I've seen it as high as 150/105!!!! That's been after I've been walking about or whatever.
But when I take it first thing in the morning, its 110/70 with a pulse of 62. I never see it this low unless I'm lying down and even then its usually between 120-140/80-90
I'm going to my GP on Thursday... but how the HELL do I have such high readings at my age?
- I walk EVERYwhere EVERY day
- I eat relatively healthy
- My BMI is on the LOW side
- There's no family history of HTN; my grannies lived to 103 and 86, my grandads lived to 84 and 99?!?!
Anyone else on here suffer with this without the obvious risk factors?!
