Your blood pressure is fine. "Normal" is considered 120/80 and the lower number is the more important number. Blood pressure changes constantly during the day, so there is no need to be concerned that it was "different"; there wasn't a significant difference.

Shoot, 128/68? I know some people who would KILL to get their pressure down that low. (I won't say whether I'm in that list...)
The top number is your systolic number. Anything under 140 is good. The bottom number is your diastolic number. Anything under 90 is passable. Under 80 is good. Under 70 is EXCELLENT. Also, the difference between your numbers is a measure of how strong your blood flows. You have a 60 point difference, which usually means good circulation.
I have a friend who died because his pressure fell to 110/90 - which was too weak to keep his blood flowing fast enough to oxygenate his brain. But something you said is even better than your blood numbers. You don't smoke or drink. My friend who died had abused drugs that tore up his body's ability to heal. So he had no stamina.
I'm not a medical doctor but I've flirted with my own problems. I'll tell you right now, whatever you are doing - just keep doing it. And your doctor is dead center on target for declining to give you pressure meds. You don't need them.

I think you are a typical healthy young person and definitely need no high blood pressure medicine. If your doctore would have given you high blood pressure medicine, he would have been a wrong doctor for you. You should enjoy life and do exercise to keep fit.

I think you should listen to your dr. I don't understand your problem. You don't have high blood pressure, so you don't need high blood pressure medicine. Just listen to the doc, he definitely knows more than you do.

This is actually fairly normal and healthy. He doesnt want you to take bp meds bc there is no need. Why do you have a problem here?

What? If you think he is good then why are you asking us what to do? Ask HIM!
