Chronic stress& tension are risk factors for cardiovascular disease including high BP & coronary artery disease. Your average blood pressures as mentioned are fine. Other risk factors for coronary disease are family history,smoking,diabetes,elevated cholesterol& LDL and low HDL. Have a treadmill stress test & if ok, embark on regular exercise &strive for ideal weight. ?Stress management therapy

Does CP mean Cerebral Palsy. Unusual to come on at your age. Or did you mean BP? If so concur with other answer. Use average of several weeks. Less than 120/80 is the healthiest. If above that discuss.
