is my high blood pressure bad for my age?!
Question: Is my high blood pressure bad for my age?
im 21 years old and just checked my blood pressure today and it was 147/97
im 5'10" tall and weigh 180lbs
the doc told me 2 months ago that a healthy weight for me was 170lbs (i gotta lose 10lbs)
i run and do push ups 5-6 days a week, yet my BP has RISED since i last met with my doc
it was like 135/85 2 months ago
i HONESTLY drink like 10-12 coors lights a night
my daily eating habbits are like this
breakfast- 2 scrambled eggs (no butter, i use PAM) and 2 slices of wheat bread (no butter)
LUNCH- a bowl of cereal (maybe 300 calories)
Dinner is where i mess up (the other day i ate half a PIZZA HUT BIG NEW YORKER pizza myself)
i finished the entire pizza in 36 hours.
yesterday i ate an entire taco bell GRANDE MEAL MYSELF in like 10 hours (5 soft an 5 hard taco)
take that and add in a 12 pack of coors light
IM NOT FAT (I JUST EAT BAD LATE AT NIGHT)
and i almost eat NO VEGGIES or FRUITS
I STOPPED SMOKING WEED and my BP has RISED
go figure that out (no more munchies)
i have drank alot of beer for the last 2 years like 28 days out of a month
ATLEAST ill DIE HAPPY!!!!

Yeah that's bad. Dude, cut back on beer and salt. It's worth a shot
High blood pressure is bad for any age
High blood pressure is bad at any age. A BP of 147/97 is elevated, and if it stays that high consistently, some sort of treatment would be a good idea. Diet and exercise can help lower it, but you'll need to resolve the alcoholism as well.
It's good that you expect to die happy, because that may come sooner than you expect.
