Yes: There is a much higher risk for you to end up with a stroke with BP at this level. Rush to your doctor now.

Blood Pressure.: One elevated blood pressure measurement does not warrant any immediate investigation unless accompanied by other symptomes (ie: headache, dizziness). Instead, blood pressure measurements should be repeated at 2 later separate occasions to either confirm or invalidate the original measurement. If you BP is elevated on these 2 events, further workup is necessary and should be conducted by your doc.
