Question on Hypertension History

by CodeForYourLife, Oct 25, 2009 05:48PM
I'm in my late teen years, specifically 19 years old. I have had high blood pressure since the start of high school and this year marking it the 6th year I have had High Blood Pressure. I have been to several doctors but most are afraid to put me on Hypertension pills because they say I am not fully an adult yet and things may go wrong and also because for my age  I'm not supposed to even have it.

At the start, I was feeling great, I received maximum exercise and everything was healthy with me. Later into 2 out of 6 years now that I have hypertension I under went some severe stress which blew over, but I had started to get very aggressive chest pains and VERY tired all of the time, which in sense never used to happen at all. With all this happening I consulted my doctor, she told me I must eliminate things that stress me out in life, I did just as she said, but nothing seemed to work. Since then I have been stressed constantly for no reason which puts my heart in pain. The types of pain I get surround the heart from the top and lower right half. These pains ache and sometimes feel like they are burning with the aches. I cannot lay on my left side without the pain going a bit out of control and I am feeling extremely tired all the time, even if I get 8-10hours of sleep I feel like sleeping more and more.

My question is, is this a sign that I must very critically cautious about my health and my heart? Should I also be resting more?

It would help to know what your BP range is.

It fluctuates between 160-180/80

I would like to add that certain parts of my body become numb very fast, though I don't have high cholesterol.

If your heart were causing your pain, changing positions would not matter.  I think your tiredness may be from some depression, but somehow your BP has got to be addressed!  How long has it been since you saw a doctor?  I hope you are avoiding salt and caffeine, and stress if you can.  Have you been to a cardiologist?  If not, do so.  You need to get all of this addressed ASAP.  There has to be something they can do for your BP, I hope you are seeing specialists and not just your GP.
