I never thought I would have to worry about my blood pressure; I'm very young and from what I can tell, in good shape. I never had it checked until yesterday. The results shocked me; I got 156 in systolic blood pressure, which really is very high.

Now because I've never had it checked before, or even really thought about it, I was wondering whether anybody here knows anything about blood pressure and what it could mean for me. Anybody have any ideas on what I could do to lower it? Or are there any illnesses I am particularly vulnerable to?

I'd appreciate anyone shedding some light on the matter, because it's really got me thinking.
