[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 919495, member: 43498"] Don't panic, in most cases hypertension is easily treated with meds and you won't even notice you have it. I was diagnosed with it at 34, and then diabetes at 38ish. My dad has hypertension so it seem to be a genetic thing in my case. I think all they meant by referring to your kidneys is that uncontrolled hypertension can be a strain on the kidneys, but no worries because meds will fix that and your kidneys should be fine. Just keep doing what you are doing, and your 3 monthly blood tests should be able to detect any kidney issues. If you are like me then your next blood tests will show your kidneys are feeling much better. In a way, you are gaining control of your health because once you know there is an issue you can treat it. Not knowing means you don't have control of your health. [/QUOTE]
