my son is 16 years old. he is very athletic, went to the doctor today. The doctor checked his blood pressure and it read 147/85. I was shocked and very fearful. I checked it again once he got home that night and it read 153/91. That night I couldn't sleep, I had a huge headache. He went to school and played a little volleyball. He got home and checked that it was 153/89. This morning he had 2 boiled eggs no salt, bread without butter, and a garlic clove. This morning it was 150/90. My aunt tells me it maybe be due to stress. He has a family history of Hypertension but I never guessed he could get it. Is there something you recommend?Will it go down? Can he play any sports?

Green Tea Benefits
I've been a coke- cola drinker alcoholic I guess I could drink practically 1 two-liter bottle a day, every day. So now I'm slowly getting off drinking coke, and I'm down to just one glass a day. My goal is to stop completely, and I'm only drinking tea and water. I've heard that green tea is good for keeping your weight down. My question is, is drinking green tea cold as effective as drinking it hot? Because I make a pitcher of green tea a day. I like to drink it just like a regular drink so I won't get the cravings for wanting to go back to drinking coke.

Red rashes all over arms and face. Am I allergic to the sun all of a sudden?
Hi,
I have red rashes all over my arms and face. I am observing for quite some time that whenever I go out in sun with or without sunscreen I have rashes all over my arms and skin exposed to the sun. I never experienced this before. Can I be allergic to the sun all of a sudden?
