Get checked: A persistent BP of 140/90 or higher is usually worth treating, depending on what other cardiovascular risk factors you have, your doctor may suggest lifestyle modification and/or medication. Good luck!

High BP : The reading mentioned is considered high. You may or may not need medication(s) to get the blood pressure under control. Best would be to see your doctor for further evaluation and to discuss options.
