in your case its detected first time and its borderline elevated so you can start life style modification

quit use of tobacco and alcohol if you are using it
regular walking
do meditation , yogas
do regular check up of your BP , if its remains high after stating life style modification then you need to start medicine

Hi Ramesh
Welcome to HCM
High Blood pressure or Hypertension is detected mostly by medical check ups as most of the patients are asymptomatic,as far as your BP reading is Diastolic is 100 which is high and Systolic 120 mm of Hg is normal if it is your first high reading kindly repeat BP measurement 2-3 times in a relaxed state to decide about you have Hypertension.
These are called Pre hypertensives and can take Certain life style modifications to keep BP in normal range.
Reduce Common salt cosumption to
If you are over weight reduce to ideal level by diet and exercises.
If you use tobacco in any form must be stopped
If alcohol is there then stop it or at least moderate the use to minimum.
Try to reduce stress by meditation and yoga and Pranayam etc.
Take fresh fruits in diet.
If all these measures fail and BP readings are high one has to take antihypertensive drugs.
