High blood pressure can also occur in younger adults. It often has no symptoms, so measurement is important.
Family history, weight, diet, sleep, and other factors may contribute. It is not a personal failure and is not always explained by lifestyle alone.
If readings are repeatedly high, medical confirmation is needed and, where appropriate, investigation of other causes. Healthy habits and treatment when needed work together.
The information is general and is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Do not change your treatment without instructions. For urgent symptoms call 112 or 166.
