I'm 41 and my BP has been high for a few years now...145 over 100. Prescribed APO-HYDRO 25 mg (water pills) by my doc during last physical, now down to 130 over 85 after 2 weeks of use. He wants me to take these for a month and go back for a check up. I missed taking my pill this morning, took my BP when I got home from work, back up to 144 over 95!
My Mom and older brother also on bp medication. Heredity is a large factor. It's a family curse
