At level given by you you didn't take any medicine
Excercise, like 45 mins walk, reduction in salt and oil , and Checking BP levels once a month is all you need

Your query is very genuine. It may seem like the dose is too for the BP recorded.
But it not only the BP that us important.
Medical science is a combination of history, examination and investigation.
However if you have doubt you are free to take a second opinion.
Next Steps
Consult for a second opinion.
