Hello there,

Your goal blood pressure should be less than 140/90, so a value of 120/100 would not be ok, where as 110/70 is OK. The top number os systolic blood pressure is OK, the bottom number or diastolic is above goal. Many patients despite weight loss and exercise, continue to have suboptimal numbers and need medications; talk to your physician about this possibility, and given your young age, determine if there would be a role to test for secondary causes of high blood pressure.


Hope that helps, wish you the best,
