Blood pressure readings query
I am 34 years old male. 70 kg. Height 5'5". I am observing my bp since last 10 days. Readings are:
140/100
132/82
130/100
140/100
130/90
135/84
130/90
138/90
142/90
134/98
I want to know if these readings are okay? Or do I need to further test or start medicine at this stage? Or should I wait some more time?
I don't have any medical problem as such. I am healthy and do my routine works normally.
