Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
The most recent guideline reccomends normal bp upto 140/90 and as your BP stays at around 130-140 and around 90 after taking medicines then it is acceptable. There is a need to monitor and just can't allow it to go beyond this.
Exercise is good(moderate intensity)
Reduce salt intake.
Take fresh seasonal fruits.
Quit all addictions, if any.
Hope this helped. Do let us know.
