Blood Pressure: Studies show people live longer, with fewer cardiac events if their blood pressure is around 120/70. So in your case, both of your numbers are high. We can't just target one number with meds, they affect both. Ways to come in line with normal readings include diet and exercise, weight loss, and probably an Ace Inhibitor blood pressure medication.
