Weight: How much do you weigh? If your BMI is more than 25, bring it below that to see the full effect of your exercise and other life style issues on blood pressure.

See below: Treatment is something you need to discuss with your doctor - continue to monitor your blood pressure, and bring it in when you see your doctor - the numbers you listed are fine - keep up with present diet and exercise routine - Good luck

Blood pressure : I have a few questions; how are you testing your blood pressure?At rest, not eating for 30 minutes, feet on the floor while sitting? How we measure blood pressure makes a difference. A doctor in person during a physical examination can help determine if there are any health issues related to high blood pressure changes; such as looking in the eyes. If so, then 24 hr monitoring may be needed.
