Dear ,
A normal blood pressure usually ranges from 110-140 / 60-90 , but 153/85 indicates hypertension , concerning your weight you should be around 65 kg. so you are overweight . but to say that you are a hypertensive patient you should your blood pressure in many different times for 3 days , if it is high so you have hypertension . also familial history plays an important role .
you should start with life style changes :
1- decrease salt containing foods .
2- decrease high fatty meals .
3- stop smoking if you are smoker.
4- do exercise for 30 minutes a day or walk for 1 hour .
about your palpitations , what kind is it ? is it regular or not ? how many attacks you notice ? . i think you need an ECG to roll out your rhythm .
you should visit your doctor simply putting your mind that changing your life style is the key , otherwise a small dose of beta blocker may be recommended .
Thanks
