See a doctor: That level of blood pressure is obviously too high no matter what the age. Some options include medications (hctz, beta blocker, calcium inhibitor, Alpha blockers, and others), salt restriction exercise, and avoiding alcohol, street drugs, and medications such as cold pills. Also check for sleep apnea.
