Keeping fit by no means discounts the possibility of having high blood pressure. Get it checked out.

Very true, I cycle 5 miles a day, have a BMI bordering on underweight, don't smoke & I have to take medication for high blood pressure.
The diagnosis came as a complete shock during a routine check up, as there had been no symptoms, at all - the idea that only overweight sedentary people have high blood pressure is not true
