Answers:
You sound like you lead a pretty good lifestyle, maybe all you need is a little supplementation. My husband is 28 and also has high blood pressure. Here is a list of the best supplements to take:

1. Calcium 1,500-3,000mg daily & Magnesium 750-1,000mg daily - deficiencies have been linked to high blood pressure.

2. Garlic (Kyolic) 2 capsules 3x's daily - effective in lowering blood pressure.

3. Selenium 200mcg daily - deficiency has been linked to heart disease.

These supplements along with a low sodium, high fiber diet will help you alot. Also, buy a blood pressure wrist cuff and keep a log of your blood pressure, taken in the am & pm.

You also might want to ease up on the rum & cokes for a little while.

Good Luck!

1 thing you can do is lay off the salt.sodium can raise your blood pressure.
