At what point should you treat high bp with meds, given you eat healthy and exercise? 140/90 and up? what about 135/85?

Hypertension : Blood pressure is checked several times (use average) while resting, after 30 mins after a meal, not smoking and feet are on the floor. If you have not responded to lifestyle changes for months, we ask the following: If you have risk factors for heart disease and those are real readings then you need medications. If the readings are > or = 140/90 -need medications, even without the risk factor
