How long can a 26-year-old with high blood pressure live?

Patient's question:

Recently, I often had the problem of dizziness, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have high blood pressure. I am slightly overweight, and now I want to ask, how long can someone with high blood pressure at the age of 26 live?

Doctor's answer:

If you pay attention and manage high blood pressure well in daily life, it is usually not a problem. In nine out of ten cases, high blood pressure patients have a family history. In addition to hereditary factors, mental and environmental factors can also lead to the development of high blood pressure. The incidence rate is very high among people over 40. High blood pressure is a preventable and controllable disease. Blood pressure levels of 130–139/85–89 mmHg are considered in the normal high range.
