Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The most recent guideline recommends normal BP up to 140/90 and as your BP stays at around 130-140 and around 90 after taking medicines then it is acceptable. There is a need to monitor, and just cant allow it to go beyond this. Exercise is good(moderate intensity)Reduce salt intake. Take fresh seasonal fruits. Quit all addictions, if any. Hope this helped. Do let us know.
