Yes, of course...even more risk if you smoke cigarettes or a pipe

ExPhys

Yes, skinny people can have high blood pressure.

High BP runs in families, and can be influenced by things such as smoking, sodium intake, activity levels etc.

â™¥

yes. if you eat too much salt and junk food you can get it.

Cameron N

I'm 5 7 and I'm 115 pounds and I'm trying to gain some weight. While it is harder to get higher blood pressure, it is possible. I personally have low blood sugar.

SBflyer99

Absolutely. If they eat diets high in salt, they can develop high blood pressure.

Leslie S

Yes. It is not just a factor in overweight although overweight people can usually cure their HBP by losing weight.
It can be genetic or caused by a water/electrolyte imbalance or arteriosclerosis, the loss of elasticity of your arteries (the main reason for most people).

kelbel084

Yes. Somtimes high blood pressure runs in the family. But yes, you can have high blood pressure even if you are skinny.

Lester

Absolutely. I was really skinny for most of my life and my blood pressure was typically 165/120. I exercised daily, ate 'right,' etc. It was only after I gained weight that my blood pressure dropped into the normal range.
