Yes: If it truly is high, you need some tests to determine if there is an unusual reason for the high blood pressure. If it is just primary hypertension it would be treated with medications. If the elevation is very mild, life style changes such as eating less salt might help. Certain types of unusual hypertension can be cured with surgery., .
