Hi
According to latest criteria the acceptable lower limit for BP in young man should be 135/85. However in your case since BP is 140/100, this not acceptable and you need to take diet control, regular exercise, decrease weight, take citrus fruits and finally not controlled then take antihypertensive agents from your doctor after investigations.
Take care
