My blood pressure is 145/80. is it necessary to go and see my gp and go on medication?

At your age: and absent other cardiovascular complications (e.g. heart attacks/ disease, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, stroke or aneurysms) your systolic BP remains a bit high but manageable with stress relief methods such as meditation, drinking relaxing teas, light aerobic exercise and deliberate breathing training. Your diastolic BP is perfect. Anxiety can cause BP to rise, so stay calm.
