What Causes Rise In Blood Pressure?

Hi, my husband came to know about the high Blood pressure 1 week back i.e. 100/169 and doctor recommended to have Lisinopril 10 mg daily. After that it was decreasing and we were happy as it came to 90/130 but from last two days its measuring high again i.e. 100/169. He is 30 years of age and diet includes as below. He also does walking for 30 min and running slowly for 10 min in evening time on trade mill in Gym. I really am concerned why this happen.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. His diet and exercise plan seems excellent. The things that can cause high blood pressure are salt, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and obesity. This condition also runs in some families and in that case you can do everything correctly and still have high blood pressure. It is very important for the blood pressure to be controlled to avoid complications in years to come of heart attack, kidney disease and stroke. Lisinopril is an excellent medication. It is usually well tolerated and helps protect the kidneys. He may need a higher dose of lisinopril. It sounds like he is doing a lot of good things with his diet and exercise. Good luck.
