Should I Take Medicines To Control Pressure?

My blood pressure ranges from 119/73 to 143/82 depending on food, temperature, stress and exercise. I am 60 with a resting heart rate of 57 (lower when I wake up) and there are no other indicators/conditions or history. Should I, in your opinion, be taking drugs to control the pressure?.
