High blood pressure ( hypertension) is a major cause for long-term problems involving the heart, kidneys, and brain, discovering hypertension and treating it if necessary will prevent these problems.
Although your high blood pressure might be related to stress, it is not uncommon to see hypertension at your age.
I advise you to measure your blood pressure more frequently at home or at a doctor's office, and in doubt a 24 hour blood pressure monitor may be done to be sure if high blood pressure is present or not.
Lifestyle modifications that you should start right away are to decrease the amount of salt in your diet, decrease the amount of caffeinated beverages and soda if you are used to take these excessively, exercise , and stop smoking.
I advise you to see your doctor, in addition to physical examination, a set of necessary labs may be done , and if lifestyle modifications as above are not successful in reducing your blood pressure, medication may be necessary.
Either way, your blood pressure should not be more than 14/8 to prevent long-term problems.
