Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

The BP readings you mentioned are not even at upper bracket. Normal BP is 120/80 mmHg. So i would suggest you not to worry until or unless the values increase considerably.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing her good health.
