Relax: The more anxious you become, the worse your BP will be. This is very mild elevation of the BP - really just borderline elevated. Don't focus on a single BP reading -it isn't harmful and has no meaning. Take your readings at complete rest for at least 10 minutes. Check it 3 times and average them. If the average is >140 or >90, check with your doc - a little increased Lisinopril may do the trick.

MONITOR: It takes more than 1 BP reading to diagnose high blood pressure, take BP after resting 5-10 minutes. Regular exercise, balanced diet and moderating caffeine can help . See your doctor for BP check and advice.
