Sir if u check at bp at home . Take reading 3 time see what level are coming . If it still showing around 160 /90  or above 140/ 80 but not having any symptoms  u can lower down with short term medication but more focus on lifestyle  and eating habits... also try to reduce weight as u mention 98 kg .
