hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic,
Taking accurate blood pressure is not so easy as it seems.blood pressure is not only related to inflations.
I would suggest you to have your blood pressure checked by a physician and if really that high the doctor will prescribe you the required medicines and will inform you about the necessry precautions.Till than to be on a afer saide avoid salt and heavy exercise.better visit your doctor.
Take care
