Borderline: Recommend you consult your physician, but the current recommendations are to treat BP of 140/90 or greater unless you are a high risk group ( diabetic or vascular disease). You might consider exercise, weight loss and low salt diet. I would be ok with this bo for several months while you attempt these lifestyle modification efforts, but not much longerremember a normal bo is really 120/80 or less.
