Yes you are much too young to have such high blood pressure. Get it checked by a doctor! Also get a good blood work up and definitely check your colorestoral that can push up blood pressure. Blood pressure is a silent killer and even people as young as you can have heart attacks or strokes!

The larger the gap between the high number and low number shows higher blood pressure.  If you are concerned, best to check with your doctor.  There may be some medications that can be prescribed, if your doc feels it is needed, and often times, a change in diet will help.  I eat a lot of oatbran, love the stuff.  I don't make it with milk and sugar, I just add a little margarine and seasoning. Tasty.  Oats, like bread, can be flavoured sweet, or salty. Depending on your preferences.  I myself love Mrs. Dash on my oats, cause it really brings out the flavour.  There are other dietary changes you can make, and I'm sure your doctor would be happy to refer you to a nutricionist
