im 17 years old and i just went to the immidiate care about a week ago and they said my blood pressure way 160/100. i know that is really high. people say that i need to learn to relax and stuff, but i find it hard for me to even "chill" for a couple of mins before my leg starts moving or i just feel the need to stand up and walk around like pacing around. alot of people say that i have ADD how do i know if i do have ADD or not, i figured that if about a week goes by and ill check it again. i went to the local pharmacy and it still said about 160/100 anything i can do? i cant sit let alown relax. i dont know if i even have add or anything. but i do know my BP is WAY high expessually being 17 years old. any help please? what can i do to "relax" or help my BP? any help would be awesome

There are several things you can do, but the first, and most important, is to see your doctor.

Those BP machines are notoriously inaccurate. If you are concerned, go to your doctor and get your bp measured by a professional. 160/100 is high for anyone. It is rare for a 17 year old to be hypertensive. People's BP are normally higher if stressed or excited.
