Hello everyone,i am 22 year old struggling with higher blood pressure.
My readings are really different im usually around 140/60 with heart rate of 50-65
My max was 163/65 heart rate of 70
I have mild headaches in the back of my head like a sharp pain stabbing me from time to time.
I am training 4 times a week with weights in the gym and at least once or 2 times cardio training either stationary bike or running for about 30 minutes a week.
I don't smoke i don't drink and no i don't do steroids.And no preworkout supplements either,max 1 cup of coffee a day
So far i've checked my eyes ultrasound of my abdomen my kidneys my heart and ultrasound of the aorta all were good.
I also had 24hour holter reading came out good.
Gave my blood and urine samples all good.
My diet is really clean it's based on clean protein intake(chicken,fish,0%fat cheese,beef,eggs etc) around 150g of protein a day 200-500g of complex carbs (white/brown rice,potatoes and outmeal) and 50-100g of omega 3 fats coming from Olive oil,lot's of nuts.And lots of veggies.And my salt intake is rly low,under 5g a day.
Oh yes and 1 more thing few months ago i had heart arrhythmias that was when i had a rly huge salt intake i was rly rly overdoing it because i love spicy foods and i didn't know the recommended dose for salt so i was rly overdoing it,i can bet i had 20~g of salt a day.One doctor told me 5g was recommended dose and once i corrected my salt intake,arrhythmias are down to minimum,i feel it once in a month aprox maybe.
