Respected sir, Blood pressure is a vital reading of our body hemodynamics, it has to change with different activities, at different times of the day, and when measured by different machine s and different ppl. So alway the range is important than a single reading. Till upper reading is between 110-140 and the lover 70-90, you need not worry. So the readings you have sent are in the normal range However it's always the trend which is important , just because your lower BP is touching 90, I would be happy if you start with lifestyle change. Less salt in your food. No no to aerated drink, preserved foods. Some aerobic exercise 30-45 mins atleast 5 times a week to prevent being hypertensive in future
