Define "alarm": This is not run to the ER or you will die high but it is get seen in the next week high. By definition you are hypertensive to the point it can damage your kidneys, eyes & cardiovascular system. You will likely need meds and life change to get control. High blood pressure is a slow but effective killer so you better get in to be seen or the outlook is not good.
