You need to do a lipid profile test and an ECG (electrocardiogram). Your blood pressure is too high at 190/115 mmHg. You have a risk of developing organ damage with this level of blood pressure. I usually prescribe a combination of beta-blockers, diuretics, and statins depending on your lipid profile test result. I advise that you reduce salt intake and do regular exercise.
