Is this considered high blood pressure

[Victorr457]

I am 42 male, weight 65kg and height of 175cm. in the month of February 2020 i started feeling sick i had these symptoms: pain in the chest, blurry vision, headache, salty mouth and dizziness i went to the clinic to get checked up everything was fine but the doctor told me i have elevated blood pressure of 120mm/90mm hg he prescribed me some medication and told me to exercise regulary. According to these results is this considered a hypertension and what can i do to reverse this condition, i found out that hypertension is a condition that can’t be cured which even make me feel worried.

Well Victorr457 I’m surprised anyone thinks that 120/99 is high, even for a twenty year old leave alone someone of your age.

Regardless of this, however, I’d suggest you have a good read of Blood Pressure Uk’s website. Increase your exercise as suggested by the doctor, have a further chat with your GP In a few weeks time, to make sure that everything has settled.

Hi Victor. I really don't consider that as a high reading but I am not a GP. As Happyrosie has said, increase your exercise as advised by your GP and take it from there. Good luck.

After a few weeks on BP meds now my doctor was aiming to get me down to 120, I’m 47, but I am exercising more, trying to get in two walks a day on average.
