Hi There

I've read your query and understanding your concern.

I would like to tell you BP more than 140/90 is an indication for high blood pressure. But , what time you are checking your BP that matters. During any inflammation , temperature, anger and anxiety BP raises up to some level.

It's advisable for you to check your BP at different times everyday after relaxing yourself for 10 min. If it generally stays more than 140/90 then you need to start with dietary modifications and Antihypertensive meds.

Hopefully I answered all your queries.
Wish You Good Luck
