Well Mitch, I suggest you go tour the cardiac ward of your local hospital because that is where your headed if you don't do something. Your BP and pulse is high. It causes strain on your heart and can cause it to enlarge resulting in heart failure. It takes a while to develop but it is not reversible. Maybe it will get you in your late 30's or 40's.
Of course when your 26 you will never get there - don't believe it. It happens quick.
PS- The way heart failure gets you is that you suffocate. Lot's of fun.
See a doctor and get that BP down. Take it very seriously.
It is high but it's hard to say whether it is chronically high or if this was due to the coffee and cigarette prior to the blood pressure was taken. Both of those things raise blood pressure. You should schedule and appt for another blood pressure check and if it's high at that appt, talk with your doctor about resolutions.
Good luck
Yes it's high! you have a lot of cardiac risk factors on board... your weight and lifestyle choices are a dangerous combo. If you have family hx of heart issues, that's worse.
If you feel poorly now, go to the ED. Otherwise, wait a few hours and recheck.
Definately talk with your MD tomorrow!
