Hi,
From readings it seems that you are having moderately high blood pressure.
Go for regular checking of BP and keep BP record.
Measure once in the morning and once in the evening.
If you have any present complain, consult your doctor and get examined.
Take less salt.
Avoid more sweet and fats.
Ok and take care.
