BP 140/90 Worry: If taken properly with an accurate device at least 2 times on 3 different visits and averages is =>140/=>90 you have high blood pressure but you must discuss with your team. Ask them if it is OK for you to try the DASH DIET to lower BP without drugs. Go to NIH.gov and read about the DASH Diet. It works in about 50% and may be enough to avoid meds. Discuss with team.

Blood pressure: Systolic pressure (top #) is best between 90 & less than 120 & diastolic pressure (lower #) is best between 60 & lower than 80. Are these taken at rest? They look a little bit elevated - discuss with your doctor.
