Answers:
It is not completely unheard of for your blood pressure to be high at a young age!.!.!.it is happening more and more in young people due to the lifestyle we live!. Even though your slim it does not necessary equal healthy!.!.!.!.!.Most blood pressure monitors are pretty accurate but if you want to be sure call your doctors office and ask them if you can come in and get it checked (they will take your blood pressure and then use your machine to take your blood pressure to see if they have the same reading)!. When you take it be sure to wait a few minutes and relax!. Do not cross your legs and keep your feet flat on the floor!. Sit up straight and do not laugh, fidget or hold a conversation when you take it!. One blood pressure reading does not mean you have high blood pressure!. Blood pressure is best measured over a period of time so measure it for a week or so and keep track of your readings!. If you notice that it is high over the course of a week then schedule an appt!. with your doctor and show him/her the readings!. There is a good chance you just were not relaxed completely when you took it because your reading is not extremely high!. If your doctor looks over your readings and thinks they are too high they may recommend some simple lifestyle adjustments!. You are thin but do you eat healthy foods or a diet high in fat and sodium!? The doctor will probably recommend cutting back on salt and fatty foods and increasing your fruit and veggies!. Also, do you live a pretty sedentary lifestyle!.!.!.if so he may recommend you get out and walk or do some type of exercise!. If you already are active and eat healthy it could simply be genetic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
