Weight might not have any relation with blood pressure. Kindly get your blood pressure monitored for some time and start an antihypertensive drug. It is important to reduce salt intake because sodium is a factor in high blood pressure. Hope it helps. Kindly do not postpone or ignore as a high BP has grave consequences on organs
