How old are you? Is there a strong family history of hypertension?
Most men in my family when they reach near 50 , have been diagnosed with hypertension.
Tell your doctor/nurse to send you an eight days monitor sheet. Then you'd need to take your blood pressure for eight days, twice in the morning, twice in the evening and if the average is above 140/90 then yes, it's high blood pressure and you might need t take meds.
Hope that helped.

This is normal, the heart rate is based on stress levels and brain function.
