Hypertension? Seems kinda weird.? -

ok, i m using my wife s page, but i am a 25 year old male, weight 180, height 5 10quot;, and an estimate of my body fat would be somewhere around 12-15%. i had to take my blood pressure the other day and it read 156, 75, 69. i work out 4-6 days a week lifting heavy and go on an occasional run when i have to. How can my blood pressure readings say i have mild hypertension? i thought only fat, lazy people had hypertension. is it possible to have it without being obese, or was it most likely a false reading?

can run in the family, id check with a doctor maybe they can get the right reading and sort something out but it can be controlled by medication which you take to lower your blood pressure but those you are kept on for life. it is possible to have it when you are not obese,

Sometimes there is no explanation for mild hypertension. I don t think it would be anything to worry about but if you are, maybe call your doctor and ask? Anyone can get hypertension, its just more likely for people who are obese.

It s possible for anyone to have mild hypertension. It doesn t matter how fit you are. I know a man who had a heart attack at 34 and has no quot;symptomsquot; or precursers to predispose him to heart disease.
