Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
BP of 140/90 is not high for age 74 years. It is borderline. This BP won't cause any nasal bleed. I recommend you to monitor BP regularly and do some blood tests like platelet count, PT/INR, bleeding time and clotting time to see for any bleeding disorder. If BP remains like this, he does not need any medication currently for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari
