Hello , Both the blood pressure mentioned is pretty much the same . Blood pressure is a vital sign. It means it would keep on changing according to the need of the body . When you are sleeping it would be on lower side , than when you are active .
That's normal and suggests that the heart is healthy and is able to cope up with body needs .
140 / 90 is just normal . You should consider decreasing salt in your diet and quit smoking for good, so that you don't require any medication for BP in future . Regards
