Blood pressure needs to taken after 15 minute period of rest in a quiet setting. A random reading may not be accurate. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

That blood pressure, if sustained, is not healthy. If you note that your BP is consistently above 120/80, institute lifestyle changes such as salt,alcohol,caffeine restriction&no smoking.. Attain ideal weight, Get regular exercise& good sleep. Minimize stress. You may need tests as well as medication if your BP isn't consistently in the range of 120-130/80. Your physician will advise you best
