140/90: Generally a BP of 140/90 in anyone over 18 on more than one occasion is considered too high. If it is 120-139/80-89 that indicates prehypertension. If the level is hypertensive and remains there after lifestyle changes then drug therapy is indicated. Prehypertension indicates the need to more frequent monitoring plus lifestyle changes. Do let me know if i can help with further advice.
