My b.p. was consistently normal, avg of 120/80 each time. ever since about a month ago, it's consistently been mid to high 130's over 80ish. normal?

No: Normal BP is 120/80. Anything above that is not normal. Make sure you are measuring with proper cuff size and several times per day. If the average is >120/80, see a doctor. Initial treatment is weight loss, sodium restriction, and exercise. But you should have your kidney and thyroid checked anyway, so go see a doctor.
