Is it possible to outgrow hypertension?
Seems unlikely but when I was in my early 20s my readings were routinely in the 150/90 range. Docs put me on 5mg lisinopril and systolic numbers dropped by about 10 points but still in the hypertension range.
Fast forward, I’m 29 and almost every time I take my blood pressure at home, it’s normal.
Yesterday it was 126/74. Just now I got a reading of 113/63. It has been like this for months.
I can’t think of any reason why this would be. My meds haven’t changed. I live a more sedentary lifestyle today than when I first discovered my blood pressure was high (back then I was walking/taking public transportation everywhere, taking 15k steps most days). I weigh about 50lbs more now (some being muscle mass but definitely more visceral fat).
It just seems like something changed in my body.
Has anyone else ever “outgrown” their hypertension?
