Hello, You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. 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. I would have started tab Amlodipine 2.5 mg once a day and would have gradually increased according to need. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.
