I'm really worried about my blood pressure. It's always around 15090. My dad has had hypertension from a young age too. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm kinda surprised it's this high. Could this be genetic, or is there something else I'm missing? Should I be doing something different to bring it down?
Based on your blood pressure readings and family history of hypertension, it is important to monitor and manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, and stress management techniques. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help lower your blood pressure. A common medication for hypertension is Losartan, starting at a dose of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
