I'm a 23 year old male, 6'4" 200 pounds. Not overweight, but i don't excercise. I've always been athletic though. But no excercise.

About 3 years ago i checked my blood pressure and it was around 140/90, over the past year i've checked it, its been around 140/85. One time it was 130/80, another 120's/80. But mostly in the 140/80-90 range. But i have only checked it about 5 or 6 times in the past year and a half, when i do check it i'm usually nervous. I checked it today and it was 144/84.

this is definately HBP right?

Do i have to take drugs??? How much does excercise help??

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

does high-blood pressure cause impotence?? That freaks me out more than heart attack ,stroke, and everything in between.

What do you guys think??PLEASE GET BACK TO ME!!
