Follow up...: I would suggest to measure your BP at home regularly( about there times a week) while you are at rest and relaxed. If BP >140/90 then it is time to visit your doctor for recommendations. For now try to adjust your salt intake to no more than 3-4 gm daily and maintain a low fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.
