Agree with livi. IF (caps intended) you can actually stick to a lifestyle change then you can likely bring your BP back to normal limits with diet, exercise and weight loss. Unfortunately in the US the percentage of people who can do this and stick to it is extraordinarily low. If your BP is running 140s/80s truly through the day that isn't all that horrible. If you saw me in clinic I would recommend lifestyle modification first and recheck in 6 months. If it is still up or higher at that point we would probably talk about low dose meds.
