A member asked:

How would you rate the bp 140/80 for and 18 year old who weighs 137 lb. and is 6' 1"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrisome over time: If this were a consistent finding over several days it would put the kid in the pre-hypertensive range. Simple change to a no salt added diet with reduction of salty foods like chips might help some, and regular monitoring at home would be a good idea. Over time it may drift up to a treatable range.This is something you can discuss with your doc at a regular checkup.
