[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on ChatDoctor1Regarding your concern, I would explain that 145/69mmHg is borderline blood pressure. You should know that blood pressure can result higher in some patients during the doctor consult. These phenomenon are called White Coat Syn Chat Doctor.  I recommend you to measure your blood pressure different times during the day (in sitting position, after 10 minutes of total relax) and refer them to your doctor. Further lab tests may be needed to exclude other secondary causes of high blood pressure.  Meanwhile, I recommend you to make some modifications to your lifestyle: - reduce salt and caffeine intake-avoid smoking-perform a lot of physical activity-reduce weight if you are overweight. These tips will help you manage better your blood pressure. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
