A bit high: Ideal blood pressure is < 120/75. Blood pressure does fluctuate throughout the day. Recheck every few days in the morning and if still high, you may want to see your doctor. Initial treatment involves limiting sodium (salt) intake to 1500 mg daily, exercise 45 min per day 5 days a week, and weight loss if your bmi > 25.
