Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You first monitor your resting BP frequently and make a chart. If readings are persistently high then you will need treatment. Start with low salt diet and regular exercises. Also have low fat, oily and calorie diet. You will also need a BP medicine if BP is more than 140/90 mmHg. I usually give tab Telmisartan to my patients in clinic. You can get medicine prescribed from local doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar
