Healthy And Fit, Latest Labs Showed High BP, Taking Pill. Cause?
Hi i m a 30 year old fit healthy woman who exercises regularly and doesnt smoke and i have had a few readings of high blood pressure on my last couple of check ups...i m on the pill and now i need to wear the 24 hr monitor in a few weeks! i m very worried about this as i thought blood pressure was for older people and i dont seem to fit any of the criteria for usual people with high blood pressure

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Age does not exclude any disease.
Onset in young age dictates the need for more investigations to search a cause of the pressure.
It is very often not possible to find a cause – yet, curable conditions should not be missed.
Also renal function and Lipids should be seen.
You seem to have a good life style already. Your doctor will add a few more like salt restriction...
Treatment is well advanced nowadays / easier / good control is possible / complications can be prevented and/or postponed.
Don’t worry / Don’t stop the medicine without your doctors’ advice
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
