NICE(UK) Guidelines For blood pressure management suggest that never start the treatment on one spot Clinic High blood pressure reading
you have to Check Bp in your home for two times in the morning and night time
take two readings every time and consider the lower one
7 days BP pressure values remove the first day reading and then Take out mean Bp of all the readings that's your BP and if it's more than 140/90mmHg still you just have to go for life style modifications like salt restrictions etc never start with the meds
