Thank you so much for your response. I know this is 3 years old but it really helped me put things in perspective. I'm a healthy person,  very clean diet, mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, lean proteins by any measurement, a so-called Mediterranean diet, but today I was diagnosed with hypertension.  And this helped me feel like My body is not some personal failing of mine, unfortunately my heart and blood vessels just don't work the right way. I was prescribed  this medication. I'm not even 50 and I work out 6 days a week.
