No: Not for a healthy 18yo boy. It should be more like 110/60 at his age.

No: This is not scary bad go tho the ER but it is something that should be evaluated soon. Immediate removal of extra salt in his diet, and caffeine products ,nicotine (cigarettes,chew,or vapes )is a first step. This may be something easy to fix with lifestyle modification or it could need meds.
