High BP- 23 Years Old Male
Hi, Recently I flew in a plane for the first time and I experienced terrible turbulence which scared me real bad and the next day when doctor checked my BP it was 180/something she said it could be due to fact that I was still reeling the effects of my first flight trip. When checked my BP after half an hour or so it's around 140/90 and a couple of days after this episode my BP is still around 139/90. I am 6'3 tall and weight 124 Kgs. Do I have to be worried about this? Do I suffer from Hypertension?
PS: Both my parents suffer from High BP.
