Hi, if you are overweight, please try to bring it down to Ideal body weight for your height. Exercise regularly. Keep salt intake to 1500mg a day, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. See that you are getting adequate sleep and stop smoking.This is called lifestyle modification. With these measures, you will find your mild hypertension coming under control. But if it remains high, you may need a mild medication. Regards
