If you haven't, please do.

Speaking as someone who went 19 years without (age 30 to 49).
Had it checked in the ER after a heart attack. Was something like 280/160. Congestive Heart Failure. 6 months before my heart was fairly normal.
Been 4 years now, on 5 different BP meds.

Please have checked. Either at a Dr's office or by a professional somewhere. Many pharmacies have someone who will do it for you. (It's too easy to make excuses if you take it yourself with a machine.)
 
I have had elevated blood pressure most of my adult life, and on meds. On average for 40 years probably 145 over 95. Quit working, now its 120 over 75. Never thought of myself as a stressed out guy, but I guess I was to some degree. Still on same meds, but readings have been "normal" for past 5 years.
