I know this sounds ridiculous. i'm 16 years old, and i think i have high blood pressure. only because whenever i just even do the smallest activity like walking up the stairs, i kinda lose my breath. and then when i run i feel like my heart's going to explode and i can't breathe. i've ran cross country and track for two years already too.. do i have high blood pressure? if so, what can i do?

High blood pressure called the silence killer,the condition itself causes no symptons,it set the stage for a heart attack or stroke.

I see others have already explained that high blood pressure as a rule has no symptoms; that's why it's called the silent killer because people feel so OK they don't know anything is wrong, and don't get treatment. No one here can diagnose you, but it doesn't sound like you have high blood pressure. You could however have a few other things going on. You need to be seen by a physician the tell what has been happening to you....and do it soon. Your parents know about this, right? Tell them first, and then get to a doctor.

Irregular heartbeat, Blood in the urine, Vision problems, Fatigue or confusion etc. are the symptoms of high blood pressure.

If you do all work with full energy and very fast regularly or hard work with your body then you do high blood pressure problems after some time.
