Elevated BP levels
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?
