No: Ideal resting blood pressure should be below 120 for the top number (systolic) and below 80 for the bottom number (diastolic). Stage 1 hypertension (high blood pressure starts at 140/90. If you have other medical conditions, your goal range may vary.

Get it checked: Normal blood pressure is 120/70 or less. Acceptable is 130/80 or less. Anything above that should be evaluated by a physician. If the number you listed here is confirmed, you have moderate high blood pressure and should be on medication.
