Constantly elevated blood pressure

[Ashfaren]

I have constantly elevated blood pressure in th range if 150/100 at a young age of 27. I am worried about long term effects on my health later on. Should i treat it with meds or not? I can't exercise bcoz i have no energy in my body and no interest or motivation. Anybody has high blood pressure from stress. How to treat it?

Actually exercise will help lower your blood pressure to a possible manageable BP... I wouldn't be as worried if your bottom number was low but because you have both numbers a bit too high, I am concerned. I would talk to your doctor about going on a small amount of medication because it's not horrible numbers, but, for your age, that is just too high. Here is some information to help you.

Here is some information I hope helps you

1. Ten minutes of brisk or moderate walking three times a day

Exercise lowers blood pressure by reducing blood vessel stiffness so blood can flow more easily. The effects of exercise are most noticeable during and immediately after a workout. Lowered blood pressure can be most significant right after you work out.

So, health professionals theorize, the ideal way to combat high blood pressure might be to break up your workout into several sessions throughout the day. In fact, one study found that three 10-minute walks a day more effectively prevented future blood pressure spikes than one 30-minute trek per day.
