I am curious if anyone knows what kinds of things can cause high blood pressure, even temporary. I’ve heard of sleep deprivation causing it, but it doesnt seem like not getting enough sleep could cause you to have a real blood pressure problem. Could caffeine or soda consumption affect your blood pressure?

I was diagnosed at age 19, I take a lot of medication to control it, I excersize, eat very healthy and yes it does run in my family, m ydad died at 35 of a heart attack but he was relly unhealthy. I’m just wondering how many other people have this problem at such a young age?
