But I have not started taking any medicine regarding blood pressure. I have reduced my salt intake. Is is ok not to start medicine for BP? I have just started doing treadmill, but I am just doing brisk walk upto 3.5 at the machine. Is it safe for me to do running on treadmill as I want to reduce my weight? I am worried about my BP.How can I regulate it? Please help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If BP is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it. Moderate regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Heavy activities should be avoided. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
