Mild exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder. If you are aiming for more strenuous exercise, be sure to work up to it slowly. Take it easy at first, and after a while you will be able to do fairly strenuous workouts. However, it is important to check with your doctor for some guidelines.

Does anxiety cause high blood pressure such as whenever I take my blood pressure it is high but since Im only 18 could I just be getting anxiety when taking it and getting false readings?

Probably not. Too little information for a good answer. Are you overweight? Could your blood pressure machine be malfunctioning. Is just your's high or does it read high for everybody. Are you "normal" readings in the high area. Don't fool around. If it's high, get it down. Lose weight. Exercise. See your Dr. for bp lowering drugs. A stroke is not a laughing matter. --Absolutely anxiety can raise blood pressure. Try sitting and relaxing for at least 5 minutes before checking it in a comfortable place. Anxiety releases adrenaline, which will raise your bp, as will exercise (even though it helps it in the long run). However, if you're calm cool and collected and your bp is still high you should definetely go see your doctor, just to be on the safe side.
