yes, I have the same problem, i am 32 and have High blood presure 150/93, but I feel that have a lot to do with stress and the fact that I have gained 30 lbs in the last year. I am currently taking a low 25mg medication and am dieting and cutting out caffeine and drinking lots of water. Exercising also has help in one month my bp has gone down to 120/82, but it is still high for my age. Try reading, don't watch the news, and walk one block around your house every day. And learn to say No to people, take time for yourself.
