Why Blood Pressure Is High When All Other Tests Are Normal?
Hi I am 30 with height 6 feet 1 inches and weigh 95 Kilos. I have hypertension and have done all the test like 2decho, stress test, ECG, Lipid Profile, USG Abdomen, Renal Doppler, Sodium Potassium levels. Everything is normal. I do not understand why my blood pressure is high??? I have done Homocysteine serum test but it is towards higher side. Could you please suggest me any other test???

Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Most of the time in adult there is no secondary cause of high BP . This is known as essential hypertension. Since all your test reports are normal that is a welcome news.
You can do regular exercise and reduce your weight, switch to low salt diet, avoid junk/fried foods, take fresh seasonal fruits.
