Question by ♥jayde: What are causes of high blood pressure when not overweight?
I am a 19 yr old female, I am 5’3 and weigh 119 pounds. I follow a meal plan by a dietitian and go to the gym 3 times a week. Yesterday at the doctor they informed me that I am “pre hypertension”. What in the world can cause this? I do not take any medications, and I don’t smoke either. I do have an eating disorder, but I have had it for 7+ years and blood pressure has never been a problem before.
Also my pulse was only 60

Causes of hypertension are not always known. It can be hereditary, due to hormones and other medical conditions. It is more likely that you were nervous when you were at the doctor’s office and your blood pressure was a little high due to anxiety.
