Is My Blood Pressure Of 135/68 High?

my blood pressure is 135/68 and my pulse is 80. I am a 52 year old woman with no medical problems other than being overweight. Is this high? it seems each time I visit the doctor the first number keeps going up. For the past 10+ years the first number was always in the 120's. thanks

Hi, your systolic blood pressure is slight high but according to your age its common.and your diastolic is slight low. Overall your blod pressure it not high enough that you require antihypertensive medicine. You just take salt restricted diet and go for regular exercise. no need of medicine right now. Go for regular checkup.
