Sam asked:
I am only 20 years old and female. Not overweight. My blood pressure was consistently high over the past couple of months at a range between 159/94 and 154/89, it hasn’t deviated from that range in that time once that I know of. Doctor keeps checking with same result, but hasn’t started me on anything yet but says she will. Anyone know what she’s waiting for?

there are endocrine and renal causes for sustained hypertension. Are you on any stimulants, lots of caffiene products, sudafed? Pheochromacytoma is one cause=endocrine. Sustained, untreated HPB can cause renal/kidney problems. Also, cardiac/lung system. HBP is silent as it does it’s damage. I don’t know what she is waiting for, ask her. Has she done blood work, chem panel, cxr?
