How long until he has a heart attack?
A friend of mine has high blood pressure. I don't remember his exact numbers off hand but i know he's well into stage two hypertension both systolic and diastolic.
Looking for a medical opinion or even from someone with experience on the matter.
-He's only 24.
-His BP is REALLY high.
-He weighs about 250lbs, (gained most of it within the past year)
-He's a smoker, smoking about a pack a day. He started when he was about 14.
-He almost NEVER exercises.
-He eats unhealthy. Mostly meat and deep fried foods and a lot of it at a time.
-He has a really bad temper.
-He sweats a lot and it doesn't take much to make him sweat.
-He sometimes feels pain in his chest when overexerting himself (sometimes it only takes as much as walking upstairs)
-He hasn't seen a doctor since he was a kid, and refuses to see one or go on pills.
Me and his family have been trying to convince him to see a doctor and change his lifestyle to improve his health but he's pretty set in his ways.
My questions are: what are the consequences of this? What could happen to him and in how long until it does?

Nobody can provide a definite time table for such things, it can happen sooner or later or less likely, never. He is definitely on the wrong path, and needs help. Such a person has given up caring for himself, and is most probably in depression. You should persuade him to see a doctor, and take some steps to improve his health condition.

To lower the risk of hearth attack PLEASE use Proleva. I have been using it for few months and the good thing is that it has many benefits. Proleva is a very powerful antioxidant supplement. It boosts energy, defends against illness, and much more. You only have to take two pills per day to get the fighting antioxidants for your health. Proleva has 8 powerful antioxidants which are are goji berries, green tea extract, origanum vulgare, pomegranates, noni, resveratrol, acai, and mangosteen.

The most direct benefits are anti-aging, healthier heart, increased energy, strengthened immune system, improved memory, and defends against free radicals.
