If you have followed lifestyle management and diet modifications for the last 3 months and your BP remains constantly above 135/85 on home based monitoring, following BP monitoring protocol, you may need to start pharmacological treatment.If you don't have any risk factors like smoking, cholesterol etc you can still continue with lifestyle changes
