Do any of you young consultants have high blood pressure? I’m fit, have a balanced diet, and regularly exercise, yet I can’t seem to escape high blood pressure readings. I wonder if the demanding nature our line of work is causing subconscious stress that is raising my blood pressure.

Yes. Mainly from drinking way too much and high stress. Also my diet kinda sucks.

Cutting out booze would be a great start. Thing is, I will always keep my body just healthy enough so I can keep drinking 🤣

might be genetics too I've always had high bp

Yes, and I don’t really drink either.

I’m fit, and exercise 6x a week with little to no drinking, and my diet is just eh…and mines high too… 142/86 and I’m 23!!! I don’t get it

I was 134/90 earlier today, and I didn’t even feel stressed. 😬 Cheers to being young and our bodies already malfunctioning! 🍻

Energy drink consumption?

Nope. I’ll have a can of coke once every few days and that’s it. I don’t even drink coffee.

Is it genetics? Most people don’t want to admit but a majority of your health comes from your genetics

Ha, sounds abt right

How many redbulls/coffee/coke lines per day ?

Yeah I already have a low bpm at rest🫠. Love what’s stress does to me…

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.
