BP high. 140/90

2022-04-12 05:56:28
Twice in last 30 days my BP has gone up after consuming some salty food. Rest on all days it was normal despite having salt. I am overweight By atleast 12-14kgs . Can that be a factor? Yesterday after having salty tea my back of the head started paining a lot. I checked my BP with our home digital BP machine it was 140/90 . After that i consumed water and it went back to normal. One more question I have, how accurate home BP machines are? My lifestyle is very sedentary due to my work which is online. I consulted a doctor he said it's not the right time to start BP medications. Please suggest.
