I would go to the doctor, your pressure is too high. They may give you blood pressure meds. I do not know how tall you are but you may just need to drop a few pounds, if you are short. I am short and over weight and take b/p meds. Be sure to keep an eye on that pressure, you could be  at risk for heart attack or stroke. Good luck and take care.

Your systolic (the upper number) is way too high, your diastolic (bottom number) is good. I would go see your doctor to find out what is going on.
