If my blood pressure is about 140/100, is it urgent to start medication. I have to use the medicines lifelong? My age is 39, female. My mother is also suffering from BP. Can I postpone medication and give a try by reducing salt and do yoga etc.

Reducing salt and yoga will definitely help, but for now you should start medication to avoid any risk.
