Hi,
Blood pressure varies at different time with slight deviation.
In the morning with freshness it will be little lower level and in the evening after day work, struggle of whole day and various tension it might show little higher level.
Go for measuring blood pressure once in the morning and another in the evening on alternate day.
Keep record of blood pressure then one can have regular blood pressure idea.
Even you are thin and active there are multiple factors responsible for having high BP like age, h/o BP in family, blood cholesterol, stress etc.
Follow your doctor's advice and go for medicine accordingly.
Ok and take care.
