Anything above 120/80 could be considered borderline hypertension or hypertension. Are you currently at 138/84 with or without meds? If it is without medications then it is up to your doctor's discretion to place you on meds since lifestyle changes could easily bring your BP back to normal-- if it is on medications, you may want to consider going back on lisinopril. Whatever the case is, your blood pressure is not in the dangerously high end and you should always ask your doctor for clarification as to whether your BP is good or needs improvement with every check up.
