Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are Hypertensive and having Bronchial asthma it is common to have worsening of asthma in winter.
Please do not worry about your BP as 140/83 is not alarmingly high it could be reaction to stress of acute attack of asthma,please take care of your inhalation therapy like Seretide which good drug for Asthma.
Please take less salt and monitor your blood pressure in case it is persistently high you should visit your Physician to adjust the dose of BP medicine.
Please take care about asthma.
Good Luck.
