hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.Actually you have marginally high BP.so you don't need any medicines now.however as both your parents are hypertensive you must follow healthy life style.apart from salt restriction,go for regular walk,take green vegetables and fruits .Most importantly avoid smoking and stress.Regular life style and weight reduction of 10% of present weight will help you immensely.keep regular eye on BP.
