Blood pressure 140 over 66 is that good?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Top is high: The systolic number is high. This would put you in the hypertension stage 1 category. Diet and exercise is what is recommended right now.

Bit high: A bit high. May not need medications unless you have diabetes or heart disease. Regular exercise, weight loss even by 10 pounds if you are overweight, avoiding excess alcohol and quitting smoking are all recommended.
