Im a 27 yr old male. Good weight. Dont smoke rarely drinkAnd good cholesterol. Ive been monitoring my blood pressure lately bc it was a bit high when I took it a few weeks ago. When I wake and am lying down its 117/72 but if I go up the stairs or eat then it goes up to like 135/95. If I sit and relax for 5-10 min it comes back down. To normal. Is this normal?
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per your description, your BP increases on exertion or post food intake. It is normal for the BP to increase post exertion, but is uncommon after food intake. However, the readings are not very high and do not need much attention now. I suggest that you record your BP once a week for three weeks during rest. If all BP readings are consistently higher than a diagnosis of high blood pressure can be established. Since you are young, your arteries are still elastic, so BP can be controlled with regular exercise mostly cardio and diet restrictions with restriction. As of now you need not take any precautions except daily exercise. Please record your BP as advised above and revert with the readings. Wishing you good health Regards.
