I'm lucky it doesn't run in my family. I need to calm my anxiety down.
In this day and age where non communicable diseases have over taken communicable diseases as the main cause of death, can we really escape this lifestyle disease? Family history is one of the major risk factors for high blood pressure. I personally didn't know anything who doesn't have this risk. What about you? Does anyone in your family has it? What are some in the thing you are doing to ensure you don't develop it down the line?

According to my GP and gynecologist heredity trumps lifestyle. I have a family history of high blood pressure related deaths on my father's side and several members have died young relatively speaking of strokes. That being said, I have never lived the kind of lifestyle my elders did. Many were heavy, sedentary, some of them smoked, and there was a lot of life lifestyle stress. I noticed this at a very early age and went in the opposite direction once I was in charge of my own decisions. Nevertheless, at 56, I learned that I had high blood pressure and I am now on a low dose of medication. You're absolutely right that some people can improve their situation by changing their lifestyle but heredity trumps all that.

I think having healthier diet and do more exercise would be good for that

Thankfully no one in my family has HBP issue but sleep is crucial to maintaining good BP

It's good to check up health every year.
