[|Human|] Dear Doctor,My son has just been given a routine health check by the firm he is employed by and has been diagnosed with high blood pressure of 143 over 100.  He is only 24 years of age, 5 7, 10st 4lb and an active individual who eats healthily.  However, he has been under stress for the last few years with relocating with his job which is full time, embarking on a 4 year Engineering Course at Bristol Uni offered by his firm plus financial concerns whilst climbing the ladder to secure a future for himself and his partner. Our life has not been comfortable and as such, he is a grafter.  Is there a chance that with less worry, this may go away? if not, things dont look good with irreparable damage to heart, heart muscle walls, arteries and life expectancy of 60.  I am worried to death about about this, he is my only son.  He will be consulting his own GP but I would welcome your views and any advice you wish to offer please. Yours respectfully,Lin.
[|AI|]  Hi Mrs Line totally understand your concerns. At the same time, I wish to ally your fears a bit. It is unfortunate that he has been diagnosed with hypertension(high blood pressure) at this young age. Although having hypertension, puts him at a risk for future cardiovascular illnesses such as ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, several studies have shown that with the adequate lifestyle changes and regular medications, these risks can be significantly reduced. The progression of the disease can be slowed to a great extent with this medication. Some medication for hypertension are extremely safe and do not affect the quality of life such as losartan, telmisartan, losartan. His GP will guide him in this anyway. In fact people could live much longer with hypertension than what you just mentioned.  Chat Doctor.  Taking too much stress upon himself is not a good thing to do, and it is good for him to take breaks. Apart from this he can lead a normal lifestyle like anybody else and so you must not be too worried at this stage. Hope I answered your concerns.
