A member asked:
Do i have high blood pressure as a teenager? almost all my readings has been over 130 and the highest recent one was 141/98. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get evaluated: I worry less about an upper number of 130 than the 141 and the lower number of 98 is definitely high. This is not ER like high, but you need to get in for a review of your history, exam and some testing. Cut out any salty foods from your diet for now as well as caffeine. If the doc can exclude some medical issues you may have simple high blood pressure.Sometimes diet/activity can help or meds
