I am 20 years of age. Extremely anxious over my health. Before I was slim and my blood pressure was like 100-60. Lately I gained some weight and became more stable in looks but now sometimes my blood pressure is up to 130-80. Sometimes it is 120-75. And I read that bp of 130-80 is considered pre-hypertension and that it could be dangerous and cause stroke and/or heart attack and now I am shaking and so unhappy/depressed. Need help please.
Your blood.pressure is so normal. And its normal for.it.to fluctuate.
No need to panic. 130/80 is not high. 145/90 is start of high blood pressure. That doesn’t mean you will have a stroke. It just means that if blood pressure remains high over long periods of time, it can eventually cause damage to arteries . But that takes time.
But you are not even close to That. Even if your blood pressure goes high, your doctor can prescribe medication to keep it at a good range.
Ideal pressure is around 120/70-80.
Ways to keep your pressure at a good range:
Exercise, eat a healthy diet, reduce fats and sugar
Reduce stress with anything that relaxes you.....music, meditation, etc
Remember, worry causes anxiety which can increase blood pressure, so relax and enjoy your life. You are fine. 🌸🌸🌸😁
Also, googling will scare you for no reason. They are talking about untreated high blood pressure over years. 🙂
