Dear Mrs, In your age usually high blood pressure is secondary to other diseases. At first, the cause should be found out. If you are pregnant, some people develop high blood pressure during pregnancy. There is a need for treatment during pregnancy, after delivery, about 70% of women has normal blood pressure and there is no need for further treatment. If you are nor pregnant, you should see your doctor to have some examinations done to find out the cause. In case the cause is known, blood pressure is normalized when cause is eliminated. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
