Pre-hypertension and intervention

Q: My son is 20 yrs old and he gets constant headaches. His blood pressure runs 136/83. What should he do?

A: Your son needs to see his doctor and be evaluated. His blood pressure is in the prehypertension range as his systolic pressure is between 120-139mm Hg and his diastolic pressure is between 80-89mm Hg. Without intervention, he could develop high blood pressure.
