I am 25 year old male. I have been diagnosed as hypertensive BP ranging from 140/90-170/100. vitamin B12 and D are 78 pg/ml and 4 ng/ml respectively. VLDL and triglyceride are 51 and 208.
I am a night shift worker with my weight and height being 84 kg and 5 feet 8 inches respectively.
what are the risk associated with various above stated abnormalities? Will night shifts affect the conditions? what may be other possible causes of hypertension?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, night shift working can lead to hypertension.
In fact it is the likely cause for hypertension in your case.
Our body is also having diurnal variation. Means there is biological clock and body follows this clock. Some people who are doing night shifts, get used to this. But some like you, failed to adjust and so developed hypertension.
So in my opinion, night shift is the likely cause for your hypertension.
You are also slightly overweight. Your triglycerides are also slightly high.
So 4-5 kgs of weight loss is needed in your case.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
