144 is a slightly higher than the normal borderline bp. U need not worry much as it will only increase ur bp further. Firstly stop drinking( and smoking if u do). Or make it occasional. Secondly start some exercises like jogging.eat less oily food and moniter ur bp regularly.if it is still above 140 u will require antihypertensive drugs.
