How to lower blood pressure?

Question: I'm having a little trouble with my blood pressure, it's a little high which is unsual. I asked the doctor friday to check to see if I had diabetes, after the appointment. I went to go pick up medication for something else, and while i was waiting. I went to play on those blood pressure machines in the store, and it said dyostolic was 128 on the yellow bar saying prehypertension. Then today monday morning I call on my answering machine from my doctor saying, it was a little high. I am 23 is this the wrong ago to have diabetes?

Answers:
The first thing to do is to not worry. Of all the conditions diabetes and hypertension are the easiest to control with medications I have controlled hypertension for 23 years. Your reading of 128 is, in my opinion, too low to indicate that you start on medication. You did not mention your blood sugar levels so I won't comment on those. Don't smoke, maintain a healthy weight and an exercise program then let the doctor prove to you that you need medication.
