Re: Normal to hypertension blood pressure in less than a year
Hypertension affects about 1 in 10 males between the ages of 30 and 40. >90% of the time, we're dealing with primary hypertension i.e. hypertension without an underlying cause.
Be thankful your doctor has acted swiftly and put you on HTN tx, thus greatly reducing your chances of any nasty effects of the HTN.
I'm still arguing with mine to try and get put on treatment. In the UK, they won't put anyone on tx unless the reading is consistently above 140/90. I'm currently averaging 135/85. In the US, I'd have been on treatment long ago. Which is the way it should be here.
I'm 25 if that makes you feel better
