Hi

Raised blood pressure on two or more occasions of value more than 140/90 mm Hg should be diagnosed as hypertension.Kindly take a repeat blood pressure after an hour and check the values.In case of raised values,kindly reduce salt and oily food intake.Avoid stress and carry out mild physical activity of 20 minutes every day.

Calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine should be started in order to reduce the blood pressure.This drug is not very costly and is available in all pharmacies.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
