Hi.. The blood pressure is definitely high for your age.. High blood pressure can cause damages to the brain, eye, kidney and other organs.. You have to find a method of reducing it.. You may also have to get some test done to know why it has happened at this young age and if a cause is located then the cause has to be treated.. I understand about your financial concern, but it is better to get treated at the earliest to avoid complications..

Thank you very much. I'm sorry it took so long but I forgot about this till I was googleing something and this came up. I have found ways to lower it and will soon have insurance to get some test done. God bless!!
