A member asked:
Being an 18 year old, i have a blood pressure of 156/85 right now with a light pain on my heart. is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can be. Blood pressure is taken at a certain point in time; it will fluctuate (going both higher and lower) depending on your circumstances and activities. High blood pressure can lead to stroke and cardiovascular disease. You should see your regular doctor or a cardiologist to determine whether there is an underlying cause of this and whether you should be on medication.
