Prehypertension: is defined a a systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 - the best way to combat this is to ensure a healthy diet and exercise program. Identify things that may predispose you to elevated BP such as obesity, smoking and medication and make changes accordingly. If you are pregnant managment may vary.
