[quote=Anonymous]Those things you listed are incredibly common, even amongst young people. My very active, happy, wonderful 11 year old son has allergies, asthma, AuDHD, and used to have sleep apnea until he had his tonsils out. I would not say he is "crippled", how ridiculous. And hypertension affects people of all ages, genders, races, weights, you name it. Of course a lot of that is genetic. All doctors know that. That being said, the first line of treatment for HTN is lifestyle modifications. So eating a lower sodium diet and reducing weight (if overweight) is step one, for 6 months, to see if that works. It doesn't mean they are ignoring genetics, it means they are trying lifestyle modifications before pharmacotherapy. And plantar fasciitis? GTFO. You aren't "crippled". Every long distance runner has that, and they're all pretty healthy.[/quote]
