Hi i have blood pressure reading 139/94 do i need to take any medicines. how to control the blood pressure.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type 1 High BP: The normal range for BP is any reading below 120/80. Your readings of 139.94 put you in the range of type 1 High blood Pressure. If this is consistent, you should see a Dr who can examine you for underlying problems and potentially prescribe medications. Weight loss, exercise and decreased salt intake can help lower blood pressure.
