What to do with my high blood pressure at such a young age?

knowme36 asked:


I am 21 years old, Male and am from India. I have a high blood pressure of 140/96. I weigh 93 kgs and am obese. I guess my cholesterol levels are also very high. What are the possible dangers I might face ? What corrective actions to take ? My parents also have BP but not very high.

I’ve just started swimming for around 1 hour (30 mts of actual swimming). Is that enough ? Is heart attack at such a young age possible ? Kindly advise.

Julia

    For an hour you should be swimming for an hour you are very young but heart attacks do not necessarily mean.

    For regulating blood pressure cut back on some high sodium foods.
