as you are not having past history of high blood pressure, one reading of high blood pressure is not diagostic. so it is not advisable to start medications directly. first get some rest and good night sleep for few days. then go your family physician and check blood pressure readings two or three days. if blood presssure petsistantly high your family physician will arrange necessary investigations and treatment for you.if blood pressure has come down to normal with rest , it is more likely due to tiredness and not need to start treatment.
