For about two to three weeks I have been noticing an unusual headache in the morning. A 27-year-old woman, according to tests, I am completely healthy, but with three morning blood measurements, it is 130/80. I have always had low blood pressure and usually 110/70. I wonder if this is a consequence of gaining weight (I stopped smoking and gained 12 kg in about 6 months) or stress (I have great mental strain at work at this stage). I don't want to be one of the "depreciated" young people. I start diet and exercise. I will also try to emphasize yoga breathing for stress. I just went to find out if anyone had encountered a similar problem, and if so, how he dealt with them.

I'm 30. For me, things started with coffee. I have been drinking coffee since I was 18 years old without any problems. A month ago, however, I drank a strong coffee on an empty stomach and something like an overdose occurred. My reaction was like poisoning - a sharp rise in blood pressure, palpitations, urges to walk on small and large needs in 5-10 minutes, strong thirst, sweating, dizziness, etc. I recovered in a few hours. But since then something has gone wrong in my body and even a little coffee can cause these symptoms. That's why I stopped drinking coffee for a long time. Well, a few days ago I allowed myself to try drinking coffee again (in a dose I had always drank before) because I was very busy at work and felt that I would benefit from extra focus. Well, it turned out that my body was still reacting violently to the coffee and I raised my blood pressure to 180 per 100 and I couldn't walk straight and I didn't know where I was, but it was very bad, they called an ambulance and so on. I never imagined that caffeine could work that way. I am talking specifically about caffeine, because 2 days ago I tried to eat only 5-6 bars of dark chocolate (70% cocoa) and after 30-40 minutes there was a mini reaction to poisoning. Therefore, see your diet, if you drink coffee - stop it or reduce it a lot. Chocolate also contains caffeine because the cocoa plant itself contains. Even a chocolate waffle contains caffeine. Otherwise, a blood pressure of 130/80 may be a momentary reaction to waking up in the morning or something like that. But still look at your diet. Get more antioxidant foods. because 2 days ago I tried to eat only 5-6 bars of dark chocolate (70% cocoa) and after 30-40 minutes there was a mini reaction to poisoning.

Certainly the weight gained has an impact. According to the textbooks, one weight loss lowers the blood pressure by 1 mm, and 5 weight loss by 4. You say that you have a lot of stress. This inevitably has an impact as well. It's good that you stopped smoking, I hope it's permanent. If possible, start a more rational diet with more fruits and vegetables and aerobic exercise (running, swimming, even just walking, tennis and the like). If you also have complaints such as palpitations and extrasystoles, do not interfere with a follow-up visit to a cardiologist and perhaps check the function of the thyroid gland. And as for the blood itself, a single value in the morning says nothing. Start following it more often, it is especially informative immediately after waking up.
In general, your blood pressure is in the high normal category. Relax. Stress is your main problem! If you do not take measures to reduce stress, you will already have a serious problem. You must also increase your physical activity and not eat too salty ... These are the basic rules for maintaining healthy blood vessels and heart! Medical student, 21
Your blood pressure is completely normal, over 140/99 it is anxious
