Not good: BP = 195/114 is not good - especially at 24, especially with high cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Need to see your primary care doc. Before you go, check your blood pressure 4-5 x and WRITE DOWN THE NUMBERS. Bring the paper with you when you see the doc. You may need bp med (depends on the reading when your NOT upset)
