Hello. For your age, your BP is higher than normal. You are also overweight. This along with smoking & beer contributes to high bp. BP measurements via electronic machine is not fully reliable. Check your BP by someone trained manually, using manual BP machine. If it is still high, then do the following tests - CBC, urea, creatinine, LFT, Lipid profile and review with me in Practo direct. You'll need anti-hypertensive medications. Hope this helps.
