No: Generally you want to be under 140 and under 90. Try taking it at some other point in the day when you have time to sit for 10 minutes doing nothing. If the numbers are in the same range you need to see your md to determine/treat the cause. Are the arteries hardening or is it all stress;the american disease.

Depends: What are they the rest of the day and does it average out to less than 140/90.

Probably Not: A 24 hour blood presure monitor would be extremely helpful to evaluate both awake and asleep blood pressure.
