What to do if i am young and i have a high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go see your doctor: We worry about high blood pressure in all our patients but in young people, we worry about treatable causes such as renal artery stenosis. Best to keep track of your blood pressure and bring in your cuff for calibration. Your doc may want to discuss further testing & evaluation. Don't ignore high blood pressure as it increases risk for stroke, heart failure & chronic kidney disease.
