Is Medication Required For Blood Pressure Of 129/92?
I went to my doctor for my yearly physical and my blood pressure was 129/92 and she did not say anything about this, the last time I went it was around that range as well and I had mentioned it but she did nothing about it. Should I be on blood pressure medicine, high blood pressure runs in the family

Hi There
No there is no need of any antihypertensive at this stage but as hypertension is there in your family you should take precautions.
What you need to do is to follow healthy lifestyle habits in your daily routine like
1. Exercise daily for 5 days a week.
2. Do not smoke if you do
3. Avoid high salt diet and junk food.
4. Eat good amount of fresh fruits and vegetables
This will keep your blood pressure under control
Wish you Good Health
