I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

So I had my Echo test this afternoon, and it says my pulmonary arteries look normal but mentions I have mild PHT. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned?
Mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) means that there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild PHT, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) at a dose of 20 mg three times a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition.

I'm really worried because he's been taking Stamlo 5 once a day, but lately, his blood pressure still seems really high, around 109 low and 180 high. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there something else we should be doing to help manage it?
I would recommend increasing the dosage of Stamlo to Stamlo 10 (Amlodipine 10mg) once a day to better control his blood pressure levels. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his healthcare provider for further guidance.
