Borderline high: Your BP is at the upper limit of normal - certainly not a cause for anxiety, but you're right to be thinking about how to lower it. Answer: if you're overweight, try to get to normal weight or, if not possible, then lose 10% of your current weight. Avoid excess salt. Check your BP when you've rested 10-15 minutes and be sure the cuff is large enough for your size to avoid artifactual elevation.
