Is BP 140/81 Normal In 25 Year Old Male?

I'am a 25 year old male. I work in Law Enforcement. I am 6'4" and weigh approx. 260 Lbs. with just shorts. I had my blood pressure checked and it was 140 over 81. I am curious if this is a sign of something that needs immediate attention or just more healthy eating. I'm unsure if heart disease runs in my family. Thank You

Dear Sir,

140 over 81 BP is borderline high. So you should immediately change your lifestyle.
You should exercise much. Eat with small portions, do not eat after 7 pm, restrict carbohydrates, soda, fastfood. Stop smoking if you are smoker. If you do all these everything will be ok.

Have a good health
