A blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered high. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to lower it. You can consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help manage high blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
