Brief Answer: get repeated BP recordings Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX I see that your blood pressure is high on two recordings. Yes, it has reached to borderline. Now, I would suggest you to get three BP readings on three different days at three different times within a week. If all these readings are high, then you probably must start taking medicines for the same. You could start on simple medications like Aten 10mg once daily. But confirm the diagnosis first by repeated readings. The other routine measures to control BP are: - having salt restricted diet - practicing relaxation techniques - regular walks - healthy diet with more fiber in it Hope this helps you. I would be glad to know the readings of BP in a week's time. Do follow up with me at this link http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shanthi-e/62110 Take care!
