IUGUY,
All the comments above are legit. If you run into problem at NAMI, you'll should request a consultation with the internist on staff there if it isn't directed. We used to see mild hypertension pretty regularly, and the first step in the process was to get a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement. You'll wear a portable cuff device which will record your blood pressures a number of times over the course of a day, eliminating the "white coat" factor. If the readings are normal, no problem, and the recommendation will be PQ. If still elevated, you'll get evaluated for secondary causes of hypertension. Rare in your age group, but not zero. For now, focus on modifying the things you can change...no alcohol, watch the diet (Google "DASH diet" for a place to start), get some aerobic exercise, drop some weight if you're overweight, especially if you tend to carry your weight around your midsection. I've found a good rule of thumb is "10 pounds, 10 points". Best case is that you never have to go through the secondary evaluation. Regardless of how the NAMI evaluation turns out, having any degree of hypertension at your age suggests you'll need to be on top of this for years to come.
