With high blood pressure the blood is not getting to the organs as quick as it can and you are depriving your major organs of oxygen (white blood cells), Therefore if not enough oxygen is gettting in this instance the brain, it will be starved from oxygen thus causing a stroke.

High Blood Presure causes the blood vessel's in the brain to hemorrhage. The blood causes pressure to build up in the top of the skull, pushing the brain down on the brain stem, which in turn creates the symptoms of a stroke. Sometimes it's necessary to surgically create a drainage tube, to assist in relieving the pressure. This is why a stroke victim can sometimes have a miraculous recovery overnight if the bleeding stops, and the pressure is removed.

Is blood pressure of 135 over 100 in a 29 year old high?

No, it is high. The 135 isn't too bad but the 100 is definitely high. An ideal blood pressure would be 120/80 but 130/90 it the upper limit of normal. You need to consider the conditions under which your blood pressure was taken. Under extremes of stress, eating certain foods and other conditions everyone's blood pressure goes up. Also, there are proper body positions combined with the blood pressure meter position to get accurate readings. If the readings you gave are consistent when measured repeatedly for a few days and at different times of the day I would discuss it with your doctor. See link below for ranges of blood pressure


What is a normal bloodpressure?

Hypertension- high blood pressure. (Hypotension- low blood pressure) High blood pressure is the pressure that is placed in your arteries when the heart pumps your blood. High blood pressure is an above average pressure that could eventually lead to things like strokes or heart attacks. Blood pressure is broke down by systolic and diastolic. Systolic readings are normally the higher of the two pressures when getting your blood pressure taken. If your systolic is lower than your diastolic then you probably aren't reading this and maybe in the hospital or even dead. Diastolic is the pressure left over in the arterie after the heart refills for another pump. Giving you a lower reading. Normal blood pressure should range around 140/80. If it is higher than that it would be a good idea to start an exercise program and diet.
