What Do These BP Levels While On Acitretin Indicate?

For some time, I have heard that the ideal BP numbers should be 120/80. I am age 58, and weigh 150 lbs & I haven t been exercising much until very recently with an exercise bike at home. My BP today was 128/85. Should I be concerned about those numbers? Secondly, I have been taking Acetretin and I am wondering if this medication is contributing my the pre-hypertension BP numbers I have been seeing. Please comment.
