Is Blood Pressure Of 144/101 Dangerous To Health?

I've had high blood pressure issues with weight gain. I've come down in weight from 247 to 234 in 6-8 wks @ 6'1" and my pressure is currently 144 over 101 from a home pressure gauge which also has come down. w/ diet and walking. Is this dangerously high at this point?
