I'm 24 years old. I'm quite active physically. I eat well. My BMI is a healthy 23. But my blood pressure is apparently 140/100, which puts me at stage 2 hypertension. Wtf? How is this even possible? I don't feel stressed out. I'm currently doing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with a pressure cuff, which is apparently very accurate.

Obviously I will be going to my doctor, but is this not odd? Has anyone else dealt with this?

It's not unusual, blood pressure absolutely has a genetic component. You know if it runs in your family? I run, swim, and lift regularly but my numbers are usually in the higher stages of prehypertension. You may want to consider taking medication. Low salt diets have been shown to help lower it.

My dad has high blood pressure, but my brother does not. Did I probably just get shit genes? Are you medicated?
