Treat BP: How about treating your blood pressure? If it is truly elevated to 140/100 most of the time, you may benefit from having it treated. Long term high blood pressure increases your risk of stroke and heart attack and other major diseases.

Hypertension: Hypertension needs to be treated. Having normotension will give you a much better quality and length of life. The neck and shoulder symptoms are not likely blood pressure related.
