A member asked:

My bp has recently been in the 120's and 130's and i'm getting worried. i'm only 21. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BP 120-130: Is getting a bit high for your age. To do: minimize salt in diet, achieve and maintain ideal body wt, don't smoke, exercise aerobically daily, adjust diet to 80-90 percent fruit and veg, minimize saturated fats, and consider fam history. A clinical exam is important to assure a gland disorder is not present. Do you take OCP?
