Elevated BP levels

2022-01-28 18:26:39
3 weeks back my BP was 120/90 and had some palpitations for 3 days with heart rate above 90. I have been a smoker since 2007. Have stopped smoking since 18 days. Today I checked my BP thrice, it is in the range of 145/99. Pulse is normal at 78-80. Do I wait and monitor for a few days or should I get any medication?
