What Do These BP Readings Indicate?
I have had my blood pressure taken multiple times over the last several months and I have not had any doctors say I need medication. They have all asked if it is always this high and I say I am not sure because I do not know how to take it. But it has been running 153/113; 175/116; 137/98 to me this sounds very high. Do I need to go an specifically ask to be put on medication. I know I need to make some lifestyle changes but will that be enough?

Seeing readings of blood pressure indicates you are having high blood pressure.
you might require,

2, EKG.
3, go for regular BP check up once in the morning and once in the evening.
Keep record of these reading.
After seeing the record and all reports your doctor will go for treatmeny of your BP.
Meanwhile take less salt diet.
go for regular light exercises like walking, swimming.
Avoid stress.
Ok and take care.
