Hi, Thank you for the question. For high blood pressure diagnosed for the first time should be first managed by life style modification like 30 minutes aerobic exercises every day ,decrease salt intake in meals, avoid stress. If these are followed blood pressure may become in Normal range for that age group. If not controlled by life style modification, then medicine need to be started. Do check your blood pressure regularly. Feel free to ask me more and I will be happy to assist you.

If you have never taken any BP medicines and your BP has started remaining high, then 1) We should search for any causes that may be leading to high BP for which you should get Kidney function test, LIpid profile, TSH, HbA1c and Liver function test along with a ecg, echo & TMT. Consult a cardiologist with these reports. 2) You should immediately start with lifestyle modifications like - daily 40 mins of exercise like brisk walking, exercise etc, quit smoking and drinking (in case you do), restrict salt intake in your diet by avoiding salty foods like pickles, chutneys, papads, namkeens, chips, sauces & junk food, normal salt that is added in food while cooking is fine, take a detailed diet consult for a healthy heart diet with a dietitian, if you are obese then target to bring your weight in the BMI limit by exercising and cdiet modifications. 3) Please understand that BP is a fluctating problem it is impacted by day to day stress, anger, lack of sleep etc so ensure that you work on these factors. 4) If despite these measures your BP remains above 140/90 mm Hg then please consult a cardiologist for medications and remain in routine follow up with them.
