Hi There
I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that your Blood pressure is slightly high don't worry to much. No worries even if you start meds a day after. But do keep in mind that this level of blood pressure can very well be brought under control by good exercise and dietary schedule as well along with medicine. So it's advisable that you should go for daily brisk morning walks, reduces dietary salt intake, cut down your coffee intake, Stop smoking ( if you do ), avoid eating junk food.
Follow this schedule regularly for 3 months and probably your Bp will be under control without meds.
Wish you good health
