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.

I'm feeling concerned about my blood pressure and heart rate. Last year, my family doctor found my BP was as high as 183120, but my ECG and other tests like Lipid, Thyroid, KFT, LFT came back normal. I was on Vitabend T and Alprex 0.25 for about 78 days, made some changes to my diet, and my BP stayed around 12090, so I stopped the meds. But just last week, my BP shot up to 163110 with a heart rate of 124 BPM; after taking Vitabend T, it normalized again to about 11580. Now, Im experiencing pain in my left hand and my heart rate averages 100 BPM. Should I be worried about heart trouble? Sometimes I feel pain around the collar bone too, but theres no fatigue or breathing problems. What should I do?
Based on your symptoms and history of high blood pressure, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation. The pain in your left hand and collar bone, along with an elevated heart rate, could be indicative of underlying heart issues that need to be addressed. The Cardiologist may recommend additional tests or adjustments to your current medication regimen. In the meantime, continue monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. It is important to prioritize your heart health and seek professional medical advice in this situation.
