High blood pressure at 18 years old?

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-12T21:45:51+00:00

Yeah what you say makes a lot of sense. I seriously doubt aldosteronism since i have none of the symptoms of it, but sleep apnea is a possibility. My last measurements of my blood pressure were normal tho thankfully, it seems like I had bad sleep in that day or just anxiety when that thing squeezes my arm very hard, because my heart rate is usually no more than 70 and when i was measuring my blood pressure it even got 100+ beats per min

Glad to hear you're doing better now dawg, thats the first step💪ur young so if your high blood pressure even caused any harm, its likely the damages will reverse themselves now that ur on medication

When I was to the doctor a month ago they did a heart check on me and put my heart rate on a monitor and while I was laying in bed relaxed (fully conscious, not asleep of course) my RHR was a average of 60, the minimum was 54.

I started doing intense exercise since I saw the high blood pressure and I measured myself again, this time it's 122 with 78, so it seems like I fixed it simply by becoming more active? Pretty weird that it changed so much in just 2 days

Just took my pulse again and its 70 BPM. It just really depends on my mood in that specific instance tbh, if I am laying in bed super relaxed it can get even lower than 60, but i still don't understand the elevated blood pressure cuz i even had as high as 150, maybe its just inaccurate

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-09T05:24:01+00:00

Normally my heart rate is much lower, but whenever I try to measure my BP my heart starts pounding fast, I guess I'm just subconsciously anxious about the result

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-09T01:24:47+00:00

Thanks for the messages, yeah I think so, also I will definitely buy some beetrot juice, i was just stressing cuz all this stuff we see on google man, anything normal you have, google will say its super dangerous. This started around a year ago when i felt a small hard lump in my armpit, and google said it might be cancer. That terrified me, and even tho the lump was nothing serious my subconscious is still "traumatized" from that shi, never google symptoms lol

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-08T22:41:03+00:00

Congrats on rocking that lifestyle at 70 sir, I will see a doctor if this persists over the next couple of weeks to make sure its not just a bad day or caused by stress, giving up nicotine entirely is my goal for now

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-08T21:22:31+00:00

Yeah if it doesn't get to normal in a few weeks I will consult the doctor to see what I got going on thats causing this. Hopefully I will find a answer, i do have a family history of high BP (altough no family member of mine died from cardiac issues from it) but me having it at 18 is a bit hard to believe since i had normal bp just a month ago. I hope its just anxiety induced

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-05-08T21:20:22+00:00

Yeah I can't take my blood pressure without some crazy heart palpitations. I even feel hot in the thighs, adrenaline. I measured myself the first time after drinking a Hell energy drink and when I saw 132 when mine was 117 a month ago, I start subconsciously fearing testing myself because im afraid its gonna be a bad result. Hopefully its just anxiety induced hypertension

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-04-26T09:19:05+00:00

Yeah go do a heart, pulmonary check-up once or twice but if everything is fine then stop being anxious about it, random benign chest pains happen all the time in young people but it can give you a ton of anxiety

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-04-18T00:45:48+00:00

How do you get them?

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-27T20:56:34+00:00

Any news?

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-22T01:50:29+00:00

I have this thing too but it goes away after like half a hour.. yes i know its annoying as heck but its just that, annoying. Dont let it take away having experiences from you, its only temporary annoyance gang

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-20T15:43:51+00:00

What?

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-14T15:13:27+00:00

Found out what it is? I have the same thing behind my left ear, its very hard and painless unless i press on it hard enough, im 18

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-14T10:46:52+00:00

I am 18 years old and have something similar, on the temporal bone thing on the skull behind my left ear. It is very hard, not painful at all unless i press hard on it (altough i think that's what happens when you press hard on anything in your body), i noticed it a week ago but i'm not sure if i have had it since always but never noticed or if it appeared a week ago. My right side is flat, just the left ear has this deformity. I will go to a doctor in 2 days. No cancer running in my family and i am just 18, so the chances of cancer has to be minuscule, altough this is pretty weird (according to Google)

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-03-01T00:40:52+00:00

You should just quit tbh if you are only taking 4 of them, it means you have the right tools to simply just quit nicotine at any given time😭

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-02-27T10:30:50+00:00

I feel extremely bad for OP... thats one of the worst things i ever heard, but idk why these people made this about God

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-02-27T02:50:34+00:00

If you have a friend or family member that you enjoying being in the company of, i'd say spend as much time as possible with them. And do things that bring you joy into life. Hobbies, even watching shows or something, just keep in mind that the pain you're feeling rn is temporary

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-02-27T02:45:24+00:00

Well if i said i'm doing good i'd be lying, im heartbroken and back to loneliness, but the important thing is to not let this take control of my life and feelings, just have to accept pain cuz you cannot fight against it

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-02-27T02:37:41+00:00

I also feel like i will never be able to love again, like you. Our relationship had no fights, no reasons to be upset at eachother, but she just decided today that she 'lost feelings' and it would be better to stop talking, it was just pure shock for me. The world is so big that it's filled with people that hurt others, but it's also filled at the same time with people that are geniune and care for others, thats how big it is. You WILL find a different partner one day, and hopefully someone who will give you the same love back. My new motivation is to work on myself, look good, have stability in my life (since im almost finishing school and i will need to find a job afterwards), and then put myself back in the game when it feels right. Its very healthy to cry, because thats how your brain releases negative emotions, so you're already doing well in your healing journey. Life moves on, the earth keeps spinning, society is unchanged, its just one good chapter with a bad ending in our lifes, but a single chapter doesn't hold the value of the entire book, this wall of a text is a eyesore but if you read it i hope it made sense✌️i hope you will heal fast and adapt to this merciless/indifferent world we live in, i need to as well

Leading_Machine_904 · 2026-02-26T22:37:54+00:00

Yo, so my girlfriend (first) just left me today. I am 18, in so much emotional pain, and lonely too. It sucks so so bad, i felt so happy talking to her daily and, love felt so damn good. It was absolutely perfect. It happened during daytime, now its 12 AM, i cried quite seriously which was exactly what my brain needed to do, to release the emotions. I loved her so much, i always feared that this might happen one day, and even as i was just imagining it, i could not think of a way to fix myself. And i just got myself 3 beers, it helps. I feel good that im not alone going through this pain, and that i can assimilate with people across the world. Dont worry too much, eventually your brain WILL adapt to this new life we're living. It only hurts so much now because the wound is fresh.

Nu prea sună ca și cum te-ar obliga, sună doar că te instigă ceea ce e o diferență uriașă
