High blood pressure is the #1 cause for future heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. Controlling it early may reduce this risk. Controlling modifiable risks such as weight control, exercise, salt restriction, smoking, and trending your blood pressure are all important. Your BO should be less than 130/80.
Yes. See a doctor.
