Not on your own: See your doctor for evaluation and verification of bp reading, it might still be normal, a doctor's visit is worthy, wish you wellness

NOT YET but:: 122 is fine, 93 a bit elevated but this is a strange question because 122/93 is just one reading. If you take your BP 20 times today you'll get 20 diff. readings. Checking it often raises it- check 2 or 3 times a day for awhile. There are many natural ways to lower BP like Magensium and Taurine to more vegies in diet, exercise, meditation etc. See https://www.zona.com/# for another good treatment.
