I was 32 and my BP was 160/110.
Best to take the BP medications to get it lowered. If I were you, I would insist on an ACE inhibitor medication like Monopril (fasinopril) to reduce my BP, before trying any other BP meds... ACE meds have the least amount of side effects, and do not make you tired.
Be forward with your Doctor... tell them what BP meds you want to try first. You have 100% say over what BP meds you take... not the Doctor. Just remember that. :)
Folks with heart trouble in their family should be very careful. My friends Brother In-Law's male members had a history of heart failure and he died at the age of 28 walking across his college campus... just went down and that was that.
Anyway... take care of yourself... and take BP seriously... :)
