Dear thanks for the question.

Your blood pressure is with in normal limits but on higher side. Diastolic pressure should be less than 90.

If I were your family doctor I would have advised you to carry on with routine as you are following. Cut your cigarette and increase exercises, your BP will remain normal . Your sugar levels are also normal. You don't need to take any medicine at this stage, but keep monitoring BP regularly.

I hope my advise will help you. Do write for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Thank you. Please write a feedback.
