What Causes High Blood Pressure?
I am a very fit 45 year old (i run marathons). I have high blood pressure but everything else is normal. Cholesterol is 135, no diabetes, no family history. I meditate 25 minutes a day and eat a pretty healthy diet. Is there anything other than stress that would explain my high blood pressure?

Thanks for consultation at HCM!
After going through history , my advise to you is that you should undergo an ultrasound specially looking at your kidneys , adrenal glands and renal arteries.....
You should also get done your serum cortisol levels , urine metaneprines and vinyl mandelic acid levels....
Are you taking any anabolic steroids???. U better consult cardiologist so that all possible causes of hypertension can be ruled out.....
Hope your query is adequately answered ..if u still get any feel free to ask..
