I am 53 year old . I have been noticing for more than a month now that my blood pressure is fluctuating. Mostly it stays 140/90 . Sometimes drops to 132/85 sometimes rises to 149/97 . But the average of three readings stay 140/90 or 145/92 . I donot have diabetes. Do I need medicines? I donot have any  other symptoms.
