I was at work last night they took my blood preasure....It was 140/100...I'm only 25yrs old this should not be this high....The RN on duty said I might be pregant and not showing it on the tests.....Does anyone have some Medical Back Ground that could give me some Advice(Yes I am going to a doctor)

Reassurance...

Obviously I don't know you personally and I'm NOT a doctor, but I do know that when I was your age it was not unusual for my blood pressure to be that high. It turned out to be two things. First, I was anxious about having my blood pressure taken and second, I too was at work. A corpsman friend of mine showed me how to take my own readings and loaned me the equipment for a few weeks suggesting that stress was affecting it too much. My readings were much lower. He confirmed my readings and although my diastolic was still a bit high (130/85) I was also out of shape and overweight.

That was seventeen years ago. Now, I've lost most of the weight and exercise regularly. My bp is usually about 110/65 in the morning, before the stress of work.

Maybe you could consider getting one of the automatic machines and start taking it once a week or so to get a baseline. I still use mine regularly because, like they say, it is a silent killer.

Best regards

By all means go to your doctor. I have had high blood pressure due to job stress a few times in my life. It is nothing to fool around with. Get it checked.
