High Blood Pressure Question?

396545385 today i went to the doctor and my blood pressure was 162/80

but this doesnt make sense to me
i lift weights everyday
im 6'1 155lbs
have an 8 pac
people call me ripped all the time
im 18 in a couple days
a senior in high school
i dont eat fast food
i have fruits everyday
i play rugby
and started boxing
i dont get that much sleep like 5 hours or less typically
and i hate going to the doctors, its like a mini fear that makes me nervous


so why is my blood pressure so high
and what can i do to bring it down with out meds
i dont smoke or drink and not on any meds

  2. Dana - there could be a number of factors: are you currently taking any medications, do you drink energy drinks? do you smoke? etc. Also, you could have just experienced a type of high blood pressure known as white coat hypertension-that's when a person only has high blood pressure when they go to the doctor b/c of anxiety over the experience...I would rely on the advice of your doctor b/c I agree you are too young for this BP, hope this helps
