HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different stages of high blood pressure. A reading of 170/100 mmHG is stage 2 high blood pressure which is in the higher stage.
If there is no history of high blood pressure then you can consider repeating in a 1 to 2 hours to see where it lies, if it is still high then it would be best to go to your doctor for an assessment.
If the high blood pressure is accompanied by any chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, excess sweating, you should be seen as soon as possible to rule out heart related causes.
I hope this helps
