A blood pressure of 140/100 mmHg is higher than normal. You should contact your doctor promptly, as you may need an adjustment to your medication or additional treatment. Meanwhile, reduce your salt intake, avoid alcohol and smoking, maintain a healthy weight, stay physically active, and monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience a severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes, seek urgent medical care immediately.
