Blood pressure.
Hello I'm 17 years old and I've started to develop high blood pressure, it seems like my bp was fine and then all the sudden it went through the roof. I've tried cutting out caffeine but it doesn't really seem to do much. My bp has been high for about a year (160/95) - (170/110). So I'm wondering if this is just normal for someone my age because of hormone changes, high test, etc, or if I should get it checked out. I've heard of other guys who turn 17 and their bp goes way up but I don't know.
