I AM YOUNG BUT PREHYPERTENSIVE

I  am a 23year old guy and a final year student  at the University.My mum is hypertensive and I see her taking her medications most frequently.Seriously, I  didn't know high blood pressure was hereditary till I read it on your page.Although my lifestyle is not the best to be considered as  healthy but I do well with  my exercises at the gym centre.And I thought that was cool for my age.This statement kept ringing in my ears"Do you know your reading?",till I went to a clinic nearby to check my blood pressure reading.I was amazed when the nurse explained the readings to me after several checks(130/89 - 132/90mmHg).My heart began to beat more faster than normal but after the education by the nurse and doctor on duty,I felt better and wanted  more of the education.After checking my blood pressure for three days,the doctor confirmed me as Prehypertensive and told me how easy to work on it with lifestyle modification but not medications.They told me more of all that you have been sharing on your page.Now I've taken this high blood pressure campaign serious by urging all my friends to know their readings and also adopting to healthy lifestyle.Please the earlier the better,don't see yourself to be young.Know your blood pressure readings.....

Tiny delicate blood vessels supply blood to your eyes. Like other vessels, they too can be damaged by high blood pressure.
