My blood pressure is high. Should I worry?!


Question: My blood pressure is high. Should I worry.?
I'm 18 and I had a headache and my pulse felt fast so I just checked my blood pressure 3 times (in the course of over half an hour) and it ranged from 100-104 / 148-154. I know that's ridiculously high... Is it something to worry about tonight or would it be best to just go to sleep and make an appointment with an MD for sometime soon.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Average blood pressure for a healthy adult is around 120/80. Your diastolic (bottom number) is very high. Blood pressure will always vary from person to person and activity. An elevated blood pressure after exercise or eating is normal, but both numbers would increase. In your case, you should seek immediate medical attention.
