- My mom has had high BP a long long time. She doesn´t exercise, eat bad and is extremely stressed, but listens to no one. She has meds, but rarely takes them.
She has already had a "pre-heartattack".
- Dad has high BP but do eat the meds, two of them, but have no contact with him so can´t ask. He recently had testicular cancer as well, but beat it.
- Two of my sisters has one issue each. One has too low BP and pulse (can´t remember the name). And the other has a similar occurance so when she exercise her hands and fingers swell up.

My family history is full of inherited issues that might hit me when I am older. So far I am the only one in the entire family that doesn´t have anything....Yet at least.

However, I have been living with anxiety and panic attacks since I was 8 years old, but been keeping it inside and getting angry at myself if I can´t beat it myself.
You know the feeling when your brain feels fine, positive atmosphere, things start to get better, and you body goes "Hell nah, time for some adrenaline for no reason!"
It has gotten way way better, from self-harm, chest pain, shakes and almost passing out to now just getting nervous for no reason.

I feel I can beat it without meds or psychologist at this stage, the anxiety and stress part, but the BP worries me since even if my head gets better, maybe my body
won´t before it´s too late.
No idea what the best approach is there, taking BP meds and see if I can jump off them at a later stage, or go full natural remedies.

Checking BP randomly it never gets lower than 139/72 (if I don´t use something to bring it down a little), but it can easily jump to 190+/90+ with some alcohol in me.
Gym seems to land it on around 160-170/80+.
Have never had it over 200/100 as far as I know.(

Checked it now after sitting at the desk the entire day doing nothing - 145/82 Pulse 63
Well, your mother does have cardio concerns (explain pre-heart attack please, are you talking angina pectorals) & I’m guessing she’s younger than me. Just get your resting BP down ASAP, 145/82 is not good at your age. Dude if you were 200/100 you should have been in the hospital. BTW, how are your lipids (LDLs vs. HDLs)? Sorry, I take this stuff seriously. If I’m being a PITA just say, ok?
