Your blood pressure of 140/95 mmHg is still above the recommended target. Atenolol 25 mg alone may not be sufficient, so you should consult your doctor, who may adjust your dose or add another medication. Along with medicines, follow a low-salt diet, exercise regularly, manage stress, and avoid smoking or excess alcohol. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is important to prevent complications.
