how much was your maximum bp reading.
Readings mentioned by you are certainly not high to need the treatment. Sometime bp goes high in clinic called as white coat hypertension. So better you monitor your blood pressure 3-4 times a day. first you try low salt diet then on medicine. or else you can get your ambulatory blood pressure monitoring done so picture will b crystal clear.
