are you having a hypertension?

what kind of lifestyle does he have my friend? anyways, maybe that also depends on how we deal with everything. but he is being alarmed by it, maybe seeking for professional help in terms of that problem would really do a lot of help. i am not hypertensive too. though i am older and fatter too. lol! thanks friend jhelai

I have had hypertension for a long time. It seems like it has been hard for me to control. I know it not only has to do with your lifestyle but also with your "genes", your chemistry make-up that you got from your parents and ancestors. Hypertension is really a bummer. It is hard on your heart. If you are in pain, your blood pressure can go up because of it. I really hate taking pills but it is necessary when you have hypertension. I often forget to take the pills and even though they say it is the "silent killer", I feel that I can feel in my body when my blood pressure is elevated. It is something you have to be careful with because it can do damage to your body over the long term. I am sorry to hear that your friend has it, being so young and having it is a shame. He must learn to control it, with medication, as that is the best way he can have a long and healthy life.
