Hello people . My name is Gustavs . I’m 16. I’m playing a lot of football , doing my college work and enjoy time with friends , but recently I feel scared do anything . I don’t smoke , drink or use drugs ..

So, I got a constant high blood pressure , it’s usually jumping from 135/75 to 150/100 for around three months , I also experience a constant dizziness for 4 months and spaced out feeling ... 

Can it be my high blood pressure ? Why do I have a high blood pressure , even I don’t drink or smoke ? 

Ps : I’m on blood pressure tablets for around week and they’ve not helped me ..

    Hi there

    i just had a visit with my doc and asked him in general about high  blood pressure. He said if young people in their 20's have HBP he would always investigate other possible reasons and do lab testing for Aldosterone, Cortisol, Renin, autoimmune markers and do a scan on adrenals. Please dig further.
