I am 26 I drink like a fish smoke like a freight train and have blood pressure averageing around 165/110. My drunken friend who lives the same life style has near perfect blood pressure. I think whole blood pressure thing may be a consipiracy to get me to go to the doctor about 38 times so they can make more money. Discuss.
There are so many things that can cause high BP, even in younger people. You should check your cholesterol. If they are both high that leads to different answers than if your cholesterol is low. There are many deficiencies that can cause high bp in people. You can be B deficient, and taking a B-complex everyday could lower it. You could be L-methionine deficient, and taking L-methionine along with B-complex everyday could lower it. You could be calcium deficient, or potassium deficient. Do you have any other symptoms? Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Does your skin itch? Do you have digestive issues? What foods do you usually crave or desire the most? All of these questions need to be answered before an answer can really be given.
Your blood pressure is high, and it isn’t a conspiracy just to get you to spend money. When your bp spikes, it can cause you to have a stroke. Smoking makes the bp worse, and makes it more likely that you would stroke if your bp spiked.
You can’t compare yourself to others because genetic make-up definitely effects what happens with us! If he genetically has low bp, then doing what you are both doing will raise it, but it will still be within the norm. You might already have a predisposition to high bp, and then what you are doing is exacerbating the problems you already have.
You only have one body to live in. You can live fast, and die young in a smoking/drinking debauchery, or you can live a little more healthy, like quit smoking, and still do nearly everything else, but live longer. It isn’t like you need to give up /everything/ just so you can live to be 100, but you need to consider how worth it is to you to take care of your body, and whether the un-needed strain on your body is worth it.

No standard Blood Pressure for everyone. If you feel okay (that mean you feel nothing, you like normal) with 165/100, this pressure is normal BP for you. Nothing to do with it. But if you feel something on head with a pressure of 125/80, should medication.
I mean everyone not same in BP.
