Hello. Greetings. I have gone through your question. 139/99 does sound pre-hypertension but a single BP recording cannot be used for establishing a diagnosis of hypertension. It involves a number of factors. Including the time of the day, any activity prior or during recording, dietary intake etc. it also depends on whether you have a family history of hypertension. So first we need three BP recordings one reading per week for three weeks. If all these readings are persistently high. Then we need to work you up for hypertension. Going by your age and symptoms, I would recommend you to get your it D, it B12 levels tested along with a complete blood count. Proper diet, balanced sleep, stress relief and exercise will also help get over these symptoms. Please revert with the above. Thank you
