Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, in my opinion, you are mostly having systolic hypertension. Only antihypertensive Chat Doctor.  You need to follow certain below-mentioned lifestyle modifications also. 1. Strict salt restrictions in diet. 2. Avoid oily and fatty food. 3. Start using sunflower oil in food preparation. 4. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. 5. Avoid stress and tension, if you are having stressful life. Don't worry, your blood pressure will control with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
