Brief Answer:
Yes it's ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes, it's well within a normal range. Target is less than 140/90 mmhg. Pulse rate is also normal but on a higher side of normal. It may increase due to activities, anxiety, low hemoglobin etc. Recheck the resting pulse rate after 10-15 min.

Measure blood pressure and pulse rate after atleast a rest of 10 min.

Hope this helps you.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
