What Causes High Blood Pressure In Young Adults?
Hi , I have high blood pressure and I am 24 years old. I have started taking whey protein supplement recently (3 months ) and creatine supplement as a post workout intake. Please let me know if that can be the reason behind the high blood pressure at so young age.

Hello,
High blood pressure in young could be mainly due to mental stress. It may also have a genetic predisposition. Intake of protein supplements will not cause increase in blood pressure. However, certain protein supplement preparations are mixed with anabolic steroids, which can contribute to increase in blood pressure.
Kindly take recommended protein supplements and diet rich in proteins. Practice meditation regularly to decrease mental stress. Kindly consult physician for regular follow-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
