I've been using our digital BP machine at home, and every time I check my husband's blood pressure, it's usually in the range of 140150 over 90100. I'm a bit concerned because he's only 30 years old. I typically measure it first thing in the morning when he wakes up. Is this a normal range for someone his age? What should we do?

check it 3 time a day after food and if the bp still persists more than 140 consult your doctor
