Same, then after my systolic climbed to to 180-200 they got around to diagnosing me with kidney disease. I ended up with permanent vision and kidney damage because other than that, I was an apparently healthy young person.
Even mild hypertension can be a serious indicator of potentially life threatening, or at least altering, issues. If you measure high at the doctor, measure yourself at home and keep a log.

- washadjeffmad 5y agoA congenital autoimmune disorder that led to renal hypertension in my late teens. This is my first year in remission.
- lottin 5y agoSorry to hear that. Yes, I'm keeping a log, and so far all is well. I went from 164/83 in late June, when I started taking measurements, to 114/59 last week, without making any dietary or lifestyle changes. I'm quite convinced it was all psychological.
