Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Stress and tension are the biggest risk factors for hypertension in young individuals. And your blood pressure readings are not very high for starting antihypertensive drugs. Only stress management will mostly work for you. For this, better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need relaxation exercises. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Along with drugs, counselling and relaxation exercise are very useful in controlling stress. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Strict salt restriction in diet and exercise should be continued. Don t worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
