Greetings from Dr Divakara P
Thanks for posting your query.

Well a Blood pressure of 150/90 is normal for your age . There is no need to do anything to bring it down.

Still you can reduce the intake of salt, avoid pickles , salt biscuits, chips , finger chips, salted fish etc and eat more of fruits and vegetables.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
