What Conditions Cause Inflamed Liver And High Blood Pressure In A 22 Year Old Man?
Jan 28, 2010 High Blood Pressure Q & A
My friend is 22 years old, and hasn’t suffered any serious health problems before now. Recently he has been suffering with headaches, dizziness, abdominal pains and tiredness. The doctors say he has an inflamed liver, and very high blood pressure, but have said nothing further. They are running more tests. What conditions can cause these symptoms? Especially in a young man with no previous problems.

What Is Considered High Blood Pressure For A 19 Year Old?
Dec 26, 2009 High Blood Pressure Q & A
When I was at school, my university doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure. I took medication (Atenol sp?) for a while before running out and summer vacation starting. I saw my family doctor at home now 3 months into summer vacation, and he said my blood pressure is fine.
I recently decided to log my blood pressure over the past month. Thus far in the morning it’s averaging at 135/79, and at night 136/85. Hypertension starts at 140/90, which it looks like I’m just beneath. My family doctor says im in the 95th percentile for my age in blood pressure, but 95 still in the range that it’s normal…
Should I be getting a third opinion? Could it be higher because of the stress at school? Should I be taking blood pressure meds? I really dont wanna die of a heart attack when I’m 35, so advice is appreciated here.
