I am 58, 5'1 and weight 145


Answers:

You should start worrying about it now! It is deffintely elevated from the standard norm. I dont know what your BP used to be your whole life and maybe this is normal for you. You should restict sodium (salt) from your diet and maybe exercise 2-3 times a week. I dont think the elsevation inyour blood pressure is high enough for medication.
