Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’m a 22 yr old male. I recently went to the doctor for an annual physical. They took my blood pressure the first time it was 141/71. They said let me check it again before I left which was 5-10 minuets later. I was then 158/78. They said we want to see you in 8 weeks. Should I be concerned? Is 158/78 bad for my age?
