Electric Cigarette Doctors
I’m young but have BP problems?
I’m 20 years old, 6 foot and 200 pounds. I do smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day, don’t drink, exercise about 4 days a week and I don’t eat healthy. My wife has a blood pressure cuff (electric and one she uses on her own) and my blood pressure has stayed in the area of 140-150 over 90′s. I took my BP earlier and it was 171/98. My mom has high blood pressure as well. I didn’t know that young people could have such high blood pressure. I don’t have insurance so seeing a doctor would be hard. Why would my BP be so high and how can I lower it?
it is genetic so it runs in your family so you’ll have it most likely, quit smoking asap if you can and that’ll help. you’re not overweight so that isn’t a factor but it is for many young ppl and also work on the diet that can help with the BP, don’t eat as much fatty food w/ a lot of cholesterol and fat/grease like fast food and try to eat foods that are high in fiber, monounsaturated fats like in nuts and oils
