I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.
