Ok, my class checked our blood pressure in Health during school. I had mine taken like 7 times...we didn't know if it was right or not. My blood pressure averaged probably 145/78, and my high was 151/79. High blood pressure runs in my family, but I'm only 12. Later we went to Wal-Mart and used the machine there.
First time: 151/78
Second time: 148/76
Third time: 149/75
I don't know how long it's been like this, but I don't know if this is normal, since it should be around 120/80.
I want to go to the doctor, but we don't have any insurance right now, and won't be getting it for 3-6 months.
Is there any healthy way to lower one's blood pressure? Or should I even be worried?
Please help!
