Yes at such a young age (22), I have high blood pressure. I was prescribed medication to reduce mine (I'm taking Altace).
However, I am also a smoker and terribly addicted to salt which doesn't help.
Diet is probably the best way to start bring down blood pressure. Quit smoking (if you do), cut out salt, fat, junk food. If diet doesn't reduce it, then a doctor may prescribe medication, but it should be only as a last resort.
