I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?

Based on your blood pressure readings, even though your other health parameters are normal, it is important to address the high blood pressure. I recommend starting medication to help lower your blood pressure. In addition to medication, it is also beneficial to make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress. These lifestyle modifications can further help in controlling your blood pressure.
