I am 20 years old and overweight, I've had high blood pressure for 4 yrs and can't lose weight what can I do? I am 20 and have been overwieght for as long as I can remember. I have had high blood pressure since I was 16 years old and have been on a medication for the last two years which does a pretty good job at controling my blood pressure. However I ve treid everything to lose the weight... diets, exercise, weight loss pills, etc. Being a full time college student and a full time mom leaves me little time for myself and I know that theres no quick fix, but I m becoming very depressed about my weight and I know that this isn t going to help the situation. I just don;t know what to do any more I d like to lose about 70lbs and try to lower my blood pressure naturally. I just want to live a healthy life for myself and my daughter and my doctor has run out of answers even though it s like the 5th doctor I ve seen. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I M SUPPOSE TO DO!!! thanks everyone. I m about 90lbs overweight OHH yeah and i just broke my ankle and will be in a cast for about 6-8 wks. so walking is a little difficult
