Any 2-3 readings at different point of time 140/90 is hypertensive, need to be addressed means treatment should be started. Maintain BMI to 23, reduce salt intake, continue exercise then will see if does subside with that medication has to be started. Once get Ambulatory BP recording done for 24 hrs.
