Hi dear
Many things play a role in increasing BP from family history to diet and also stress
So we need to look at all the parameters and try to reduce them from ur information yes u are overweight so try reducing ur weight .
It is a possibility that BP might decrease on its own after weight reduction.
Eating less amount of salt in ur diet will also help reducing ur pressures automatically.
If u have further queries please consult
Take care

BP recorded on different days mostly around 130/80 mm hg or above is stage 1 hypertension.Fever , infections do increase the BP.Morever when you record the BP measure at least 3 readings to take the average.At this stage you don't need any BP lowering medicine.Your weight indicates that you are overweight.Life style modification and diet modification and exercising regularly for 30 minutes a day will help you.reduce salt intake and increase potassium intake along with fresh fruits and vegetables.
