Hi, it has been about 2 years now during which my blood pressure readings have consistently been high(180 on higher side). However, i feel no different and there is not any apparent discomfort. I weigh slightly more than average. Can that be a reason for the high blood pressure? I am 31 and no history of any medication or any underlying disease. Is there something to worry about?

    You didn’t say whether the readings are at the doctor’s office. My BP is an average of 30 points lower when I take it at home after sitting still for ten minutes. Yes. Losing  weight will lower your blood pressure as will exercise. If you don’t have a good blood pressure gauge, you can buy one at a pharmacy.
