i went to the doctor and my BP was 142 and when they used a manual it was 138, im a very athletic kid 5'8 161 15 years old, play sports and all that. I am African american, and i know my race tends to have high Bp but i dont get it im very fit and healthy, maybe just a little baby fat here and there.
My father is on BP medication and my mother is too, but that is due to her lupus. So i ask, whats going on?Am I salt sensitive, and what should my ideal range be? I heard below 135, please help the doctor wants me on medication but i will be on it for the rest of my life and im just so young and worried, please help me.
