See usually bp varies with physical activity. If you measure bp soon after walking, exercise or if you're stressed or anxious while measuring bp, bp will tend to record a higher range. In such cases try to record your bp after 15 mins again at rest. Monitor your bp for next 3 days. If the values come high (above 140/90) consult me on practo.
Use low sodium iodised salt.
Drink atleast 3 to 4 liters of water everyday.
Avoid stress.
