I am 28 y/o. Im in good health exercise 3-4 days a week. Played sports my whole life. Blood work is good, but I have high systolic BP. Dr. Put me on 10mg Lisinopril, did nothing. Im currently on 20mg of lisinopril with very little effect. I check my BP at work, it reads 128-156/53-66. Most of the time it starts in the high 140s. The werid thing is I can take it again 10 seconds later, after doing some slow deep breathing, and it will read 128-133/56-62. I dont understand, do I need BP meds or meds to make me relax??
Hi XXXXXXyou better check your BP when you're relaxing for at least 10-15 min. whenever u do some exertional work your BP rises little higher than your normal BP. So whenever u check your BP make sure u have relaxed for 10-15 thanks
