No. I'm 37 but don't take anything. You should probably do more cardio.
I am pretty skinnyfat though, it's slow progress between injuries, losing weight, realizing I have shit form, injuries from said shit form, and so on. But I'm content that it's more of a lifestyle and that I'll probably be more functional in my 80s than if I weren't lifting.

Let me prephrase this by saying that you should of course listen to your doctor over some user on Veeky Forums.
With that out of the way, I hope you understand that more often than not, high blood pressure is a symptom of something you're fucking up, and simply taking a pill to mask the symptom rather than fixing your fucking lifestyle is not very smart.

Blood pressure medication is effective for reducing your blood pressure, but not very effective for actually preventing the death that is associated with having high blood pressure.
In other words, fix your stress levels, get proper sleep, eat like an adult, and exercise.

that's the problem, I do not feel stresses at all, my life is pretty laid back, I get 6h+ of sleep, eat proper meals and lift 4 days a week, only thing I could think of, was too much sweets in my diet, lowering it now, was really bad before christmas, starting to do more cardio.

whats your bp and how old are you?
when it's lightly elevated, say 140-155 systole, don't take the meds and try to compensate by weight loss/exercise.
Give it 3-6 months, when the bp isn getting lower by then, consult your physician again und consider going on medication.

And what about your bodyweight?
Also, 6 hours of sleep is bordering too little.

varies, in morning 120ish/76ish, evening it's 140-160/86ish, measuring it for two weeks now to get an average, but it's all over the place, also my resting heart rate is around 85 while sitting, shitty genetics
32, 192c@m 90kg/6'3"@200lbs
was feeling fine until the day I wasn't, felt pressure in the base of the skull, was told it was due to bp, so started measuring it then
Easton Morris
Okay so you're not exactly overweight. What's your cardiovascular fitness like?

I need to go through physical every 2years at work, 3 years ago noticed my high bpm (can easy hit 90 if I'm just standing) had a full check up, had to ride that stationary bike for several minutes with wires and shit, doc said if I am feeling fine, then I don't need medications
Logan Ward
Listen to thus guy.
But vit c and garlic have been shown to lower the bp.
How is your general health?
If you have low level infections ECT that raises heart rate a fair bit.
