Hello, Your blood pressure is round the margin as age increases 140/90 is considered fine. As your physician told to go for a saltless diet go for it. Try not to stress much avoid pressure cooked good to for steamed foods. As you're susceptible to hypertension as your mother is hypertensive do the BP checkup often to be on safer side. If it goes above this you should go for antihypertensive Chat Doctor.  Also check your cholesterol levels to be on safer side, HDL, triglycerides and LDL.  Otherwise, don't stress much. Thank you.
