Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You blood pressure is slightly on higher side. You should take treatment of your hypertension. You should take salt restricted diet.
Repeat your blood pressure 2 to 3 times. If it remains persists high then you should take drug treatment.


Drugs like losartan, atenolol, amlodipin are commonly used in hypertension. These all are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
