Has anyone been dealing with high blood pressure (155–170) for years? Did you end up taking medication long-term?
Hi everyone,
I'm 29 years old, and my blood pressure has been between 155 and 170 mmHg for the past 5 years. I have also noticed that my eyes often look swollen, especially in the morning.
I've been wondering if I should start taking blood pressure medication regularly, but I'm unsure and wanted to hear from people who have been in a similar situation.
- Has anyone here had blood pressure in this range for several years?
- Did your doctor recommend taking medication every day?
- Did you have any symptoms like eye swelling or anything similar?
- Did lifestyle changes help, or was medication the only thing that worked?
I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just hoping to learn from other people's experiences before my next doctor's appointment. Thanks in advance.
