A BP reading of 150/90 mmHg in a 26-year-old is considered high (Stage 1 Hypertension) — especially if it’s repeated on multiple occasions. Since he’s also experiencing chest pain, it’s good that an ECG has been done and is normal. However, further evaluation is needed to rule out underlying causes or risk factors. Advise: • Check BP 3 times on different days to confirm if consistently high • Reduce salt, oily food, and stress • Encourage regular exercise, sleep, and hydration

At 26 150/90 is slightly high B.p. He should cut salt in his diet, reduce weight if more and do regular physical exercise. He can do serum lipid profile,  kidney function tests and thyroid function tests. Share reports online.

Dear Practo User. Thanks for sending across your query. Hello. A BP of 150/90 at age 26 is considered high. Chest pain with normal ECG still needs further evaluation. Recommend blood tests like CBC, lipid profile, blood sugar, TSH, and troponin. Early screening helps prevent heart risks.
Next Steps
For further treatment and details you can come for online consultation on Practo.
