Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Placenta at fundo anterior position at 24 weeks with grade 1 maturity is normal and at a good location without any risks for placenta previa.
As far as the blood pressure is concerned, systolic bp is high.
This qualifies for gestational hypertension. Please get urine proteins done to see if any proteinuria present, if present then you straight away become a case of pre-eclampsia and need to be placed on antihypertensives through out pregnancy.
Eat less salt, drink more water, Avoid oily and spicy fast foods, practice balanced diet, regular daily bp monitoring.
Watch for swelling in feet , face and generalised body swelling. If noticed, report to the physician soon for either increase in drug dosage or likely admission to hospital.

High blood pressure is to be monitored diligently through out pregnancy.
