Hello,
Firstly you should have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If bp is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it. Like tab Amlodipine 2.5 mg once a day.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once..
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
