Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure

My blood pressure is 154/63. Sometimes it ranges from 163/72, but the diastolic number is always beloew 80. I am 59 yr old female, 135 lbs and work out 4 times per week for 1-2 hours. I have been monitoring my blood pressure for the past month, as my endocrinologist said I may need a small dose of blood pressure medication.

Generally diastolic blood pressure is more dangerous than systolic.

You don't mention your height so after mesuring your basal metabolic index we can know that your weight is more or less.
