Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Your reports looks normal except for raised blood pressure and tachycardia (increased heart rate). Normal blood pressure for adults is less than 140 over 90.
Get your blood pressure checked for 3 consecutive days and if it is high then you need medication.
In order to control blood pressure follow the given below advice:
1. Regular exercise such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes per day
2. Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products.
3. Reduce salt intake to less than 5 grams per day (1 teaspoon is approximately 5 grams)
4. Get your blood pressure checked at least once a month.
Hope that answers you question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad
