More info needed: A single blood pressure reading is not diagnostic. Your upper number (systolic pressure) is elevated; lower number (diastolic) is fine. Many factors can affect blood pressure: stress, pain, smoking, even wrong size BP cuff. If BP is repeatedly elevated, pcp will begin treatment regimen. If this was machine reading, get BP checked by pcp or nurse or other reliable source.
