Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that these blood pressure values are really abnormal at your age. Anxiety, caffeine intake and straining physical activity may trigger this clinical situation.
Anyway, I would recommend first performing some tests in order to investigate for possible metabolic disorders, which can trigger
high blood pressure values:
-
complete blood count, PCR, ERS for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- cortisol and
aldosterone plasma levels for adrenal gland dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- kidney and liver function tests- fasting glucose
- a Doppler
ultrasound of the renal arteries
- a chest X ray study. If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of high blood pressure values.
In such case, Yoga and
meditation would help. If these high blood pressure values persist during the day, starting anti-hypertensive therapy may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
