What could be the cause of my high blood pressure?
I'm 14. I just went to the doctor and she says my blood pressure is high. She also said my weight was perfect. I exercise constantly and eat well enough.
Just in case it makes any difference, I've been taking Aleve for back pain for the past week or so. And high blood pressure is common on my dad's side of the family. But would it really be starting already?

Ask your dad when it started for him. Maybe it’s just genetic.

About 90-95% of cases are termed "primary hypertension", which refers to high blood pressure for which no medical cause can be found.
it could have no reason

my aunt has high blood pressure… she is like you.. healthy weight.. eats right (too much salt can cause high blood pressure) and she was told it is caused by genetics.. you say that its common on your dad’s side of the family… so that is probably it… im not sure if the back pain stuff will make a difference or not.. you could show it to your doctor… or read the side effects…
