hello Mangolia,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
BP of 140/90 at your age is borderline high and instead of medication you should focus on life style.Avoid fast food,restrict salt intake,avoid undue stress and exercise regularly.Try to maintain your blood pressure below near 120/80.follow this healthy life style for 3 months with close watch on BP.If still it is high then you may start preferably ACE inhibitor group of medicine like ramipril under supervision of treating doctor,
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
