Detailed Answer:

Hello and thank you for the question. I read carefully your health concerns.
Fisrt thing i would like to ask some questions.
What is your age? Do you have any family member suffering from High Blood Pressure? Are you overwieght? Do you somke?Do you exercise regularly?
I am asking this question,because those are the mos common risk factors that leads to High Blood Pressure.
As your values of BLood Pressure are not too high,before starting using any type of medications, it is preferable to start making some changes of your lifestyle.
First your diet must be more focused on high fibers and proteins and low on carbs and fats. It is very importat to be on a Low Salt Diet,bevause salt does influence on Blood Pressure.
If you smoke or drink achool, it is better to quit those bad habits.
Exercise does help a lot, so it is recommended to do at least 30 minutes of exercise every day.
If you start to take seriously this advices, you will have better levels of Blood Pressure.
If this lifestyle changes will not help you, then we will discuss the other alternatives for antyhipertensive drugs therapy.
Feel free to ask again
Best regards!
