High Blood Pressure - 11 months later

[Hoofhearted]

I've had this problem ever since i quit smoking pot in November 2016. My blood pressure has gone up by 20+ points and now is been sitting at 145/80. I'm a fit 24 year old male, i weigh 175lbs and am 5' 9".

I can hear my blood pump in my ears when i lay down for bed and can even feel my heart pumping when i'm doing absolutely nothing. At first my symptoms were more physical, it was painful in my chest and gave me anxiety constantly. Now the anxiety is gone and pain is gone, but my high blood pressure remains...

I was hoping my blood pressure would go down by now. Has anyone else had this issue?

Is it possible to have high blood pressure without noticing any discomfort symptom except ringing ears as it is in my case

[Relapse2018]

Cannabis lowers blood pressure afaik. I know anxiety can really raise it. Maybe go see a dr

Yeah I also have tinnitus in my left ear. As far as being anxious, I have almost zero worries. I love my job/life. Just been fighting high blood pressure for some reason.

Desperate788, you have any success with your tinnitus/blood pressure?

[desperate788]

I cut down salt and started to eat bananas daily this seemed to work a bit

I just made a tension check at pharmacy they say it's fine

Glad your stress test came back fine. Could’ve been the added stress and anxiety

[desperate788]

Indeed very stressed and anxious nice to know that my blood pressure is normal despite that
