Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your blood pressure level is high according to the reading. You should get two more readings and see whether it is high. Initially you can try life style modification like low salt diet. You should also get enough sleep. Serum cholesterol also should be checked. If you can't control by life style modification and diet then you should start drug therapy. Weight loss also help you to attain blood pressure control. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
