I'm a bit concerned because my diastolic pressure keeps hitting around or sometimes over 100, while my systolic pressure is almost always under 130, only rarely going above that. Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean I'm a BP patient now? Also, I'm really interested in knowing if there's a natural way to manage this without having to rely on tablets. What can I do?

View allI'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?
Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

My pulse seems to be at 97 beats per minute. Is that considered high or within the normal range? Could this be a sign of heart disease? I'm really anxious to know more.
A pulse rate of 97 beats per minute is slightly higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. It is not necessarily an indication of heart disease, but it could be a sign of various conditions such as anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, or thyroid issues. If you are experiencing other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otherwise, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and monitor your pulse rate.
