Hello,
Thanks for writing to health care magic,
This is quite a high blood pressure reading and with this reading even once you will need serious care and medication along with life style changes.
I would suggest you to take your blood pressure at home twice a day and then visit your cardiologist with the chart of blood pressure to get treatment started according to your BP readings.
Till then its important for you to lower your salt intake, dont take caffeine in any form. Keep a healthy weight . And keep monitoring your bp to keep it under 150/80
Best regards.
