Hello,
At your age most of the time such pain at the knee are temporary one until unless you have not gained a lot of weight or you did not had injury to your knee. Some there are minor abrasion (Chondromalacia) at patella (Knee cap) which may lead to such pain especially when you walk up stairs or sit / stand. I will advise you to do quadriceps strengthening exercises, vastus medialis obliqus strengthening exercises for this. You may also apply a local analgesic ointment for this and do warm fomentation over your knee. A small dose of analgesic like aceclofenac can be taken after consulting your doctor. Meanwhile, you may consult your treating physician for any blood pressure or heart problem related issues.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
