Hello
Thanks for posting here.
BP of 150/90 is definitely higher. However it cannot be classified as hypertension. For hypertension there must be three persistently high BP readings one week apart. So please check BP regularly in resting state for three weeks and if three readings are high then he must be started on BP medications.
Rest he can continue with diet and salt restrictions.
