Prehypertension
My brother, 24, has had a semi high blood pressure reading for days now. (Last reading was: 132/80) Yet, he is healthy. He exercises and drinks plenty of water. Can he have pre-hypertension even though he exercises regularly and drinks plenty of water? Or do some people just have high blood pressure?
