Knowing only 1 person having it in 45 years means it's very very rare. None of my ancestors have had it.

That's a made up piece of bullshit by doctors. Look up the stats, it's something ridiculous like 1 in 3 people have it. Oh really? Maybe they don't actually know what the correct pressure is? Maybe it's meant to be different for some people, just like body temperature can vary by as much as 2C in different people.
