I have a few questions; how are you testing your blood pressure?At rest, not eating for 30 minutes, feet on the floor while sitting? How we measure blood pressure makes a difference. A doctor in person during a physical examination can help determine if there are any health issues related to high blood pressure changes; such as looking in the eyes. If so, then 24 hr monitoring may be needed.

If this blood pressure is recorded after a period of rest,anxiety is not an issue, a diagnosis of hypertension is not warranted without further clinical evaluation and follow up. Make sure you follow up and general advice regarding diet exercise weight loss etc to prevent the development of high blood pressure in the future.
