Although I'm not a coffee or tea drinker, I do drink a lot of diet cola. My systolic was generally 140 - 150 until I switched to decaf diet cola and my systolic is now between 90 and 110.

Alcohol use, adrenalin-producing situations such as unrelenting stress at work or home (hyper-vigilance, relationship problems) and mild heart valve conditions are some causes.

If either or both parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts have/had it, you are genetically predisposed and there is only so much difference diet/exercise will make. Buy yourself a good monitor and take your pressure at the same time of day every day for 2 weeks. If it runs consistently high over that period, talk to your Dr. All the best.

Smoking, drinking, weight (to much), salt, anything that causes prolong stress, diet, sickness and injuries. You really need to take your pressure several times to establish your base line. Consult with your doctor, high blood pressure is not to be fooled around with.

But saying that it really only is mild hypertension. Maybe try breathing exercises to help lower it?

I am 36 and I have been on high blood pressure since I was 24. I take tenormin and this works wonderful. If you change your diet and try to reduce your stress, this will help a lot. If you feel yourself getting stressed, try to get outside and go for a walk. This helps me, and I am getting exercise too. Stress is the #1 cause of high blood pressure.

However I lowered it really quickly but not drinking caffeine. I drank green tea for 2 weeks and no caffeine and my BP came back to normal. Also, if you are under stress that wont help so try and relax at work if things get on top of you. Take a break! Don’t worry, mine was also that last year (i was 30).

So I would sugest if you smoke try to quit and if you are over weight try to lose a little. Also don't eat alot of salt. Stress, smoking and being over weight will make it go up.
